Married But Not To Each Other (1977)
You know sometimes in your life you may find that it hurts to be in love
Especially when you and the one you love already belong to somebody else
You’re tied to her and I’m tied to him and we don’t want to hurt either one of them
That’s how it is when you’re married but not to each other
You gotta go home in the middle of the night and try to pretend every things alright
But it ain’t, no it ain’t
You’re married (you’re married) but not to each other (to each other)
You make believe that you’ve been good and give your love to the one you should
But you can’t, no you can’t
Cause you’re tied to her and I’m tied to him and we don’t want to hurt either one of them
So what can you do, what can you do
When you’re married but not to each other
You have to be careful everywhere you go got to avoid every one you know
Cause people talk, you know they talk
When you’re married but not to each other
You gotta make up alibis hoping they don’t sound like lies
Cause if you get caught or if I get caught
Hurry up and love him hurry up and please him
And when it gets right you got to leave him, you better leave him
Cause you’re tied to her and I’m tied to him and we don’t want to hurt either one of them
That’s how it is, that’s how it is
When you’re married but not to each other
Hurry up and love him hurry up and please him
And when it gets right you got to leave him, you better leave him
