Darling, my dear, I know we've had a good thing going
Darling, I fear it's time for us to do some growing
And how far do you bend
Before you break it all away?
And how long can you wait?
'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
And 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
And how far can you bend
Before you break it all someday?
And how long can you wait?
'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, ooh
Oh, and I still do
