So I'll never be your lady
And I'll never be your girl
Although I love you madly
I'll never be your pearl

And when you come home at night
It won't be me
It won't be me who holds you tight
And it makes me wanna cry, and wanna love
And wanna die
Because without you nothing's right

So I'll never be your lady
There's an ocean we can't cross
So much fear, so much breaking
So much love and such a loss

But when you come home at night
It won't be me
It won't be me
It won't be me who holds you tight
And it makes me wanna cry
And wanna love
And wanna die
Because without you nothing's right

Oh, well, well, listen to me, baby
Our love is like gold
Just like gold from the mind
I hope I made you happy
And that you'll think of us sometimes

And I know when you go home at night, I know
It won't be me
It won't be me who holds you tight
And it makes me wanna cry
And wanna love
And wanna die
Because without you nothing's right
Because without you nothing's right
