You know We can't do this We just can't Listen You say you feel disenchanted Cause lately he takes you for granted Still faithful and true you've remain to hurt so have I You pour out your heart and I listen And we catch a vibe reminiscing Temptation so strong not to mention the yearning inside But what kind of man would I be If I lived unfaithfully And what kind of girl would you be If you did the same Cause I don't want to see her cry And you don't need a reason to lie Cause if we lay down tonight It won't justify through a lover's sigh The feeling is strong and we know it But we gotta see past the moment There's too much to lose if we blow it This is no lie Still here we are both together With promises made that we'd never Yet feeling it now more than ever I can't deny But what kind of man would I be If I lived unfaithfully And what kind of girl would you be If you did the same Cause I don't want to see her cry And you don't need a reason to lie Cause if we lay down tonight It won't justify through a lover's sigh Here we are All alone But somehow we got to be strong But what kind of man would I be If I lived unfaithfully And what kind of girl would you be If you did the same Cause I don't want to see her cry And you don't need a reason to lie Cause if we lay down tonight It won't justify through a lover's sigh Makes me wanna say oh-oh Just gotta say oh-oh Makes me wanna say oh-oh Just gotta say oh-oh What kind of man could I be Oh can't be unfaithful Sorry baby
