Borrowed Love

Dwight Yoakam & Earl Scruggs



At every glance, you steal from me

I catch your eyes still offering

You've got desire bought with deceit

'Cause borrowed love ain't never free.



--- Instrumental ---



I vainly swear in my starved mind

To crave your look only one more time

And pray not to reap what we might sow

If borrowed love should start to grow.



--- Instrumental ---



Borrowed love, not yours for givin'

Borrowed love, not mine to seek

Borrowed love, this road we're takin'

Toward one another's awful steep.



Forgiveness for what passion wreaks

Bears a hurtful cost that don't come cheap

It's wages paid with misery

'Cause borrowed love ain't never free.



--- Instrumental ---



Borrowed love, not yours for givin'

Borrowed love, not mine to seek

Borrowed love, this road we're takin'

Toward one another's awful steep.



At every glance, you steal from me

I catch your eyes still offering

l got desire bought with deceit

'Cause borrowed love ain't never free...
