I love you, but I gotta love somebody else
Once in a while
I love you, but I gotta love somebody else
Once in a while

Maybe this is hard to say
Then maybe, baby, it’s just my way
If I could be my vanity
I’ll show them who’s my sanity
Is this the place that I must pray
Ooh, the same old thing day after day
Staying home without a change
With nothing new and nothing strange

I love you, but I gotta love somebody else
Once in a while
I love you, but I gotta love somebody else
Once in a while

Ain't about to throw the race
Or lose it for a change of pace
Oh, baby, I’m not to blame
And, baby, my heart stays the same

You got the cause to feel ashamed
For this is something that can be tamed
I’m the picture to be framed
It’s just another silly game
I love you
But I gotta love somebody else once in awhile
Ooh, hoo, I love you
But I gotta love somebody else once in awhile

You got the cause to feel ashamed
For this is something can be tamed
I’m the picture to be framed
It's just another silly game

I love you
But I gotta love somebody else once in a while
Ooh, I love you
But I gotta love somebody else once in a while

(I love you)
Changes
(But I gotta love somebody else)
No, but, but that don't mean I don’t love you
I’m not trying to desert you

(I love you, but I gotta love somebody else)

I don’t want to hurt you, no no no no
Understand me
(I love you, but I gotta love somebody else)

Please don’t turn me down

(I love you, but I gotta love somebody else
I love you, but I gotta love somebody else...)
