Hey...yeah...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...
Oh, yeah...

We both know that I shouldn’t be here
This is wrong
And baby, it’s killin’ me, it’s killin’ you
Both of us tryin’ to be strong

I got somewhere else to be
Promises to keep
Someone else who loves me
And trusts me fast asleep

I’ve made up my mind
There is no turning back
She’s been good to me
And she deserves better than that

It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do
To look you in the eye and tell you I don’t love you
It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to lie
To show no emotion when you start to cry

I can’t let you see what you mean to me
When my hands are tied and my heart’s not free [We’re not meant to be]
It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do (Oh, ho)
To turn around and walk away pretending I don’t love you (Love you)

I know that we’ll meet again
Fate has a place
So you can get on with your life
I’ve got to be cruel to be kind

Like Dr. Zhivago
All my love I’ll be sendin’
And you will never know
‘Cause there can be no happy ending

It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do {Oh...}
To look you in the eye and tell you I don’t love you
It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to lie
To show no emotion when you start to cry

I can’t let you see what you mean to me
When my hands are tied and my heart’s not free [We’re not meant to be]
It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do {Yes, it is}
To turn around and walk away pretending I don’t love you

Maybe another time, another day
As much as I want to, I can’t stay {Oh...oh...oh...}
I’ve made up my mind
There is no turning back
She’s been good to me
And she deserves better than that

It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do {Oh...}
To look you in the eye and tell you I don’t love you
It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to lie
To show no emotion {Oh, no} when you start to cry {Oh, baby}

I can’t let you see what you mean to me
When my hands are tied and my heart’s not free [We’re not meant to be, oh, no]
It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do {Oh...ho...}
To turn around and walk away pretending I don’t love you

Oh, yeah
What can I do
Ooh...ooh...
Ooh, babe, oh, yeah
What to do, ooh
