I Think She Knows

I think she knows that I am seein' you

I think she knows that I'm not bein' true

Don't wanna hurt her, don't wanna make her cry

But what can I do?

She makes believe that things are still the same

But I can't play this kind of cheatin' game

I know she needs me, but I'm in love with you

So what can I do?

No matter what I say to her, I'm gonna break her heart for her

How can I tell someone as nice as her I don't love her anymore?

I think she knows our love has reached the end

I only hope that we can still be friends

I'll have to tell her, I'll have to let her know

What else can I do?

(instrumental)

I'll have to tell her, I'll have to let her know

(repeat & fade):

What else can I do?
