I Hate The Way I Love It

(album: Women Get Lonely - 1980)

You knew I'd come around again, baby
I knew you'd let me in again, baby
Neither one of us is strong enough to tell the other one goodbye
Help yourself to me, I help myself to you
What in the world are we gonna do?
Who gives us the right to be wrong one more night?
'Cause my best friend is your husband
And my best friend is your wife

Don't you know, I hate the way I love it
Don't you know, we got to pull away from it
Don't you know, I hate the way I love it
When I'm wanting you and needing you the way I do
I can't stay away from your love

Lying here with you tonight, baby
Away from all the city lights, baby
Never feeling any shame for the game we are playing
There's a vacancy across the way
Where other lovers just like us will play
For the foolproof alibi that we made up together
But my best friend is your husband
And my best friend is your wife

Don't you know, I hate the way I love it
Don't you know, we got to pull away from it
Don't you know, I hate the way I love it
When I'm wanting you and needing you the way I do
I can't stay away from your love

Don't you know, I hate the way I love it
Don't you know, we got to pull away from it
Don't you know, I hate the way I love it
When I'm wanting you and needing you the way I do
I can't stay away from your love
