It's hard to keep a love alive, hard to set it free
Holding on to a love that's gone in the way it used to be
Falling in love, falling apart, begging on bended knee
The same old line on borrowed time, it's all so plain to see
You're gonna lose him
Don't say I never warned you, I could see your hard time coming
I've been there before, you gotta treat a man right
Love him or let him be
He could be with someone else or he could love someone like me
Always there to listen, I try to be a friend
But everything is different from the outside looking in
Crying inside, trying to hide, I know just how it feels
I never meant to hurt you but my love for him is real
You're gonna lose him
Don't say I never warned you, I could see your hard time coming
I've been there before, you gotta treat a man right

I've been there before, you gotta treat a man right
Love him or let him be

he could be with someone else or he can love someone like me
