Gladys Knight & Bill Medley

Watching the city lights go out
Knowing that soon you will be on your way
Holding you closer to me now
Wishing that somehow, oh I could stay
These disturbing wounds we all have to show
Should we believe this magic when baby, we both know

We’re playing a dangerous game
Burning a secret flame
Meeting in shadows, ignoring the signs
That we’re loving on borrowed time

How sweet the memory lingers on
So tender the loving you gave to me
Something so right just can’t be wrong
Something this heart of mine just can’t believe
Hurts me so just knowing you’ll be with him tonight
Our hearts must act like strangers when they both
know deep inside

We’re playing a dangerous game
We’re burning a secret flame
Meeting in shadows, ignoring the signs
That we’re loving on borrowed time

These discarded moments are all we have to show
Should we believe this magic when baby, baby we both know

We’re playing a dangerous game
We’re burning a secret flame
Meeting in shadows, ignoring the signs
That we’re loving on borrowed

Loving on borrowed time, yes we are baby
We’re loving on borrowed time
Meeting in shadows, ignoring the signs
That we’re loving on borrowed time
We’re on borrowed time
