Oh my darling, what are we to do?
She loves me--He loves you.
We care for them in our own special way -
But you and I vow to be one, someday.

It may be a month, or it may take a year -
God! What the hell is is going on here!
Why can't love be simple and true?
Why instead is it messier than glue?

For now we must lead our double lives -
Living with someone, telling them lies.
Just so we can continue our lust,
While we softly betray our partners' trust.

The guilt we both feel is beyond compare -
Sometimes it's more than I can bear.
I toss and turn throughout the night,
while a woman I don't love holds me tight.

My love for you is worth all this pain -
I endure this torture, just to see you again.
One day we'll find the courage to leave,
while our partners are left behind to grieve.

But for the moment, our love is secret -
We'll have to swallow the guilt and regret.
And console each other in our warm embrace,
as we wipe the tears from each other's face....
