We both agree we shouldn't be so much in love this way
Although it's wrong we go along just lovin' more each day
We act so proud out in the crowd while another wears my name
We've opened up our hearts to love and closed our eyes to shame

We've opened up a patience we can't fight
And closed our eyes to everything that's right
She won't agree to set me free still we get all the blame
We've opened up our hearts to love and closed our eyes to shame
[ steel ]
We've opened up a patience we can't fight
And closed our eyes to everything that's right
We're victims of forbidden love we play a losin' game
We've opened up our hearts to love and closed our eyes to shame
