Lyrics
it’s a fact of life
that you may find true love
but you won’t find it twice
she was taken for granted, passed right on by
nobody bothered to look past her eyes
the dreams she was hiding, her kisses tucked away
such a beautiful prize for a man who won't stay
tucked in beside her
out doin’ his thing
she nurses their baby
and a dollar store ring
when all of your love is still not enough
and your heart tears apart on both sides of love
its a fact of love
that sometimes a man
won't lay down his gloves
there was one who would talk, a spark in his word
he lends her an ear, she wants to be heard
he smiles so softly, he shows her his all
he might be a friend, or they might have to fall
on a quiet night walkin
on a drive across town
that kiss left her breathless
and wondering how
she had waited so long, until she finally gave up
now she feels her heart stray on both sides of love
it’s a terrible jealousy
for the man that you love
when you cannot have him
and you can’t give him up
when all of your love is still not enough
and your heart tears apart on both sides of love
when the greatest of loves is still not enough
and your heart tears apart on both sides of love
