Oh baby, I love you and I know you love me
But our love is a love that can never be

Too late you've come my way
I've promised another to love and to wait
No I can't, no no, I can't hurt her soul
My love for you she must not know

Oh baby, I love you and I know you love me
But our love is a love that can never be

My heart will always belong to you
Even though this makes me through
She's treated me kind, our love for so long
Now I can't do her wrong

(Never be, never be)
(Never be, never be)

Oh baby, I love you and I know you love me
But our love is a love that can never be

Darling, this is goodbye
Promise me, you won't cry
It hurts me so that we must part
But I can't break her heart
Oh baby, I love you and I know you love me
But our love is a love that can never be
I know I'm gonna feel real bad
I know I'm gonna be real sad
But our love is a love that can never be
I know that this is gonna hurt me so
And I know I'm gonna hate to see you go
But our love is a love that can never be
