Well, you could say I've had my share of lovers
There were others before your time
But I know now that I was only lookin'
Lookin' for something I couldn't find
Until you came along, I was breaking
Oh, and it's the aching I was guilty of
I shared a bed or two 'cause I was lonely
But this time I'm in it for the love

I've whispered in the darkness and pretended
Oh until it ended with the dawn
Oh it isn't love at all if you have to fake it
But you take it when you're alone

I've told a lie or two, but I was only
Keepin' off the lonely for awhile
I've played the game the way most people play it
Well, you just say it and then you smile
But lookin' back, I see the yearning in me
And it's being empty I've been guilty of
I've shared a bed or two 'cause I was lonely
But this time I'm in it for the love

I've whispered in the darkness and pretended
Oh until it ended with the dawn
Oh it isn't love at all if you have to fake it
But you take it when you're alone

But lookin' back, I see the yearning in me
And it's being empty I've been guilty of
I've shared a bed or two 'cause I was lonely
But this time I'm in it for the love
