Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
Borrowed Love
[Chorus: Mary Davis]
What could make me think that I could live on borrowed love?
Now I see that I could never live on borrowed love
[Verse 1: Mary Davis]
It's 3:01 in the morning
Another sleepless night
I feel your presence with me, and it doesn't feel right
And then it starts, flowing through me
From my feet right to my head
Then I scream, calling out your name
I want you back in my bed, my bed, ooh, ooh
[Chorus: Mary Davis]
What could make me think that I could live on borrowed love?
Now I see that I could never live on borrowed love
[Verse 2: Mary Davis]
Like a drummer, always beating the inside of my soul
Hidden feelings, always seeking
The touch they knew so well in the places that matter
[Chorus: Mary Davis]
What could make me think that I could live on borrowed love?
Now I see that I could never live on borrowed love
[Verse 3: Mary Davis]
I can't eat, I can't sleep
Thinkin' 'bout who you're with
Are you happy, making me crazy
You were the best I ever had (Best I ever had, oh)
[Chorus: Mary Davis]
What could make me think that I could live on borrowed love?
Now I see that I could never live on borrowed love
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Mary Davis]
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
[Verse 4: Mary Davis]
The pain of too much pleasure is all so clear to me
After you go, nothing but ache to
Fill my emptiness, emptiness, emptiness
[Outro: Mary Davis]
What could make me think that I could live on borrowed love?
(Livin' on borrowed love, oh)
Now I see that I could never live on borrowed love
(I think of you, oh, when I work)
What could make me think that I could live on borrowed love?
(I think of you when I play)
Now I see that I could never live on borrowed love
(I even dream about you every night, and every day)
What could make me think that I could live on borrowed love?
(You're like a fever I can't break
You give me chills, you make me shake)
Now I see that I could never live on borrowed love
(I don't need no doctor to cure my pain
Baby, all I need is your warm embrace, oh)
What could make me think that I could live on borrowed love?
