[Verse 1]

Darling, my dear

I know we've had a good thing going

Darling, I fear

It's time for us to do some growing

[Pre-Chorus]

And how far do you bend

Before you break it all away?

And how long can you wait?

[Chorus]

'Cause love is not a debt you pay

It's not something you can give away

Love is not the final straw

But it's always a reason to risk it all

Oh, it's true

At least the way that I loved you

Oh, and I still do

[Verse 2]

For all of the times

We knew that there was something coming

Well, darling, my dear

I'm worried that we're both just running now

[Pre-Chorus]

And how far can you bend

Before you break it all someday?

And how long can you wait?

[Chorus]

'Cause love is not a debt you pay

It's not something you can give away

Love is not the final straw

But it's always a reason to risk it all

Oh, it's true

At least the way that I loved you

That I loved you

That I loved you

[Outro]

Oh, and I still do
