We took the long and steady road
And from the start you had a heart of gold, you broke the mold
I never thought you would decide
The grass was greener on the other side of loves divideYou were everything that I wanted and more
Now we cant go back where we started, never be like beforeDarlin me and you, we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and Im through with playing the fool for love
Darlin yes its true we had a grand engagement
But I cant stand by while you break my heart in two, oh
Ive got to be a man, baby Ive got to take a standSo now we gone our separate ways
But in my heart I feel the burning flames of loves remains
Now I have to find somebody new
But all who dare will be compared to you
What can I do?You were everything that I dreamed I would find
Now we cant go back where we started this is the end of the lineDarling me and you we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and Im through playing the fool for love
Darlin yes its true we had a grand engagement
But I cant stand by while you break my heart in two, oh
Ive got to be a man, baby Ive got to take a standMe and you, we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and Im through playing the fool for love
Darlin yes its true we had a grand engagement
But I cant stand by while you break my heart in two, no
