Married but Not to Each Other Lyrics

You know sometimes in your life
You may find that it hurts to be in love
Especially when you and the one you love
Already belong to somebody else
You're tied to her and I'm tied to him
And we don't want to hurt either one of them
That's how it is
When you're married but not to each other
You gotta go home in the middle of the night
Try and pretend everything's all right
But it ain't, no, it ain't

When you're married (when you're married
But not to each other
Make believe that you've been good and
Give your love to the one you should
But you can't, no, you can't

'Cause you're tied to her, I'm tied to him
We don't want to hurt either one of them
So what can you do, what can you do
When you're married but not to each other
You gotta be careful everywhere you go
Trying to avoid every one you know
'Cause people talk, you know they talk

When you're married (when you're married
But not to each other (to each other)
You gotta make up alibis
Hoping they don't sound like lies
'Cause if you get caught
And we might get caught
Hurry up and love him
Hurry up and please him
And when it gets right
You've got to leave him
You better leave him

'Cause you're tied to her, I'm tied to him
We don't want to hurt either one of them
That's how it is, that's how it is

When you're married but not to each other
Hurry up and love him, hurry up and please him
And when it gets right, you've got to leave him
You better leave him
