call it a loan
In the morning when I closed my eyes You were sleeping in paradise And while the room was growing light I was holding still with all my might Oh-- what if it's true What my heart says Oh-- what'll I do What if this feeling becomes hard to part with You were meant to play your part In the design of a desperate heart And while you gave your love to me I was betting I was getting it free Oh-- if I'd only known What your heart cost Oh-- can we call it a loan And a debt that I owe On a bet that I lost In the evening when you see my eyes Looking back at you, no disguise I'm not sure who you think you'll see I'm just hoping you'll still know that it's me Oh-- what if it's true Better ask the man inside Oh-- there seem to be two One steals the love and the other one hides Yeah-- can we call it a loan Till I'm paid in full for the seeds I've sown Yeah-- can we say that I've grown In some way that we may have yet to be shown Oh-- if I'd only known What your heart cost Oh-- can we call it a loan And a debt that I owe On a bet that I lost
