Can't get my mind off of you
know what we've done, but i don't know what to do
i know i want it, that's true
but it's against everything i thought i knew

but how you're making me feel
so far away, and yet you figure in so strong
i don't quite know what is real
if what i'm feeling is right or am i wrong

that's why i've tried to quell this feeling
i've tried every trick i know
to deny this indiscretion
burn this fever from my soul
'cos i want more than you're offering
than you've got to give this time
but i cannot break that promise
'cos the promise isn't mine

You know this can't go too far
know what i want and i know just where you are
and i know what i don't need
know i can't take you, 'cos i know you are not free

that's why i've tried to quell this feeling
i've tried every trick i know
to deny this indiscretion
burn this fever from my soul
'cos i want more than you're offering
than you've got to give this time
but i cannot break that promise
'cos the promise isn't mine

so you talk around the question, 'cos you know the answer's wrong
though you know how much you want it, how you've waited for so long
but i cannot in good conscience acquiesce myself to this
though i'm not quite sure i'm strong enough, or if i can resist
'cos reason and emotion, they don't talk at times like this
that's why i might break your promise, which is why i've lost my grip

Can't get my mind off of you
know what we've done, but i don't know what to do
i know i want it, that's true
but it's against everything i thought i knew

that's why i've tried to quell this feeling
i've tried every trick i know
to deny this indiscretion
burn this fever from my soul
'cos i want more than you're offering
than you've got to give this time
but i cannot break that promise
'cos the promise isn't mine
