[Verse]
GI know you're not mine, only borrowed
'Cause you Amalready belong to her, at least you Emsaid so
But GI'm starting to believe it ain't the whole truth
As we're Amlying side by side, I get the Emwhole you
[Chorus]
I wanna Dhold out, but gotta hold on, even though I know it's wrong
'Cause GI don't want to give you back, EmI don't want to give you back
DYou're the best I'll never have, so CI don't want to give you back
But you're Gborrowed
Do you Gtell her that you love her, like you do me?
Do you Ammake love to her, the way you make love Emto me?
Well, GI keep myself alone in case you call tonight
It's pa- Amthetic how I lie around and wait all the Emdamn time
[Chorus]
It's a Dshort hide and long low, every time you have to go
'Cause GI don't want to give you back, EmI don't want to give you back
DYou're the best I'll never have, so CI don't want to give you back
But you're Gborrowed
AmHow much time is left, you don't re- Gturn, don't re- Dturn?
How much Amtime, oh, it's left you don't re- Gturn, no re- Dturn, how much Amtime?

GI know you're not mine, only borrowed
And I don't want to give you back, EmI don't want to give you back
DYou're the best I'll never have, so CI don't want to give you back
No, GI don't want to give you back, no, EmI don't want to give you back
DYou're the best I'll never have, so CI don't want to give you back
But you're Gborrowed, only borrowed, 'cause you're borrowed -----
