[Verse 1]
Can't tell the meaning in your eyes
Oh, but I mean to
Can't tell truth from lies
Tell me, can you?
Even God has secrets
Only Mother Nature knows
Time will always tell
I wonder if you ever will

[Chorus]
To love or be alone, I ask of you
To love or be alone, I ask of you
To love or be alone, better take your time
To decide what is right
The heart is on the line

[Verse 2]
It's in our nature to cheat
Also to kill
It's inevitable
That one of us will
But we're not excused
From the choices we make
We deserve just what we get
For every heart we break
[Chorus]
To love or be alone, I ask of you
To love or be alone, I ask of you
To love or be alone, better take your time
To decide what is right
The heart is on the line

[Verse 3]
Put your hand on your heart
Listen to the church bells ring
You put your heart in the Bible
And the choir sings
Oh, the next time you pray
Say one for me
I need all the help I can get
I don't think God is listening

[Chorus]
To love or be alone, I ask of you
To love or be alone, could you ever be true
To love or be alone, better take your time
To decide what is right
My heart is on the line
To love or be alone
To love or be alone
To love or be alone
Better take your time
To decide what is right
Oh, my heart is on the line
Oh, my heart is on the line
Yes, my heart is on the line
Oh yes
