I can barely keep my heart from you.
It's like keeping chocolate in the room,
the gourmet kind,
that doesn't ever get left behind,
but what can I do?
While you're with her,
I can't be with you,
I can't be with you.
Just this one time, can we forget her?
I know you don't love her; why are you together?
when you can't take your eyes off me?
You're better off,
you're better off
can't you see?
If you do the right thing by me,
I know you don't love her,
but you've got a chance to love me.
I can barely keep my heart from you.
It's like keeping chocolate in the room,
the gourmet kind,
that doesn't ever get left behind,
but what can I do?
While you're with her,
I can't be with you,
I can't be with you.
Just this one time, can we forget her?
I know you don't love her; why are you together?
when you can't take your eyes off me?
You're better off, you're better off
can't you see?
If you do the right thing by me,
I know you don't love her,
but you've got a chance to love me.
And I know,
if only accidentally,
this could be, the best,
for all of us eventually
she'll at last be loved,
as could you and I so gently,
if you choose me.
Every night, we'll be together,
She will be loved, and life will be better,
won't have to take your eyes off me,
you're better off, you're better off
can't you see?
If you do the right thing by me,
I know you don't love her,
but you've got a chance to love me.
