Borderline Lyrics

I may not be strong like Hercules
or rich as a prince of thieves
or be everyone that you need
I may not have my face on your magazine
or be the knight of chivalry
bowing down upon my knees
but I'm not above trying

But if you leave too soon, if you run tonight
you're never gonna see what lies on the other side
and if you leave too soon, you'll get left behind
'cause this is love... on the borderline

I may not be a maker of history
or the steam in your time machine
or be Napoleon at your feet

I may not shake well on your tambourine
or have the kick of gasoline
to be driving your dreams
but I'm not above trying
but if you leave too soon, another love undone
where there once was love will turn to rust
and if you leave too soon, you'll get left behind
for this is love... on the borderline

but as I walk away,
trusting love is equal to the love make we make
but these are the risks we take
I may not be strong like Hercules
or rich as a prince of thieves
or be everyone that you need

I may not have my face on your magazine
or be the knight of chivalry
bowing down upon my knees
but I'm not above trying

but if you leave too soon, another love undone
where there once was love will turn to rust
and if you leave too soon, you'll get left behind
for this is love... on the borderline
