"Married But Not To Each Other" lyrics

Married But Not To Each Other

You know sometimes in your life
You may find it hurts to be in love
Specially when you and the one you love
Already belong to somebody else
You're tied to her
And I'm tied to him
And we don't wanna hurt either one of them
That's how it is

When you're married
But not to each other
You gotta go home
In the middle of the night
Try and pretend
Everything's alright
But it ain't, no it ain't

When you're married
But not to each other
Make believe that you've been good
Give your love to the one you should
But you can't
No you can't

Cause you're tied to her
I'm tied to him
We don't wanna hurt
Either one of them
So what can you do
What can you do?

When you're married
But not to each other
You gotta be careful everywhere you go
Trying to avoid everyone you know
Cause people talk
You know they talk

When you're married
But not to each other
You've gotta make up alibis
Hoping they don't sound like lies
Cause if you get caught
And you might get caught

Hurry up and love him
Hurry up and please him
And when it gets right
You've got to leave him
You better leave him

Cause you're tied to her
I'm tied to him
We don't wanna hurt
Either one of them
That's how it is
That's how it is

When you're married
But not to each other
Hurry up and love him
Hurry up and please him
And when it gets right
You've got to leave him
You better leave him
