Well, I sometimes sit and wondered 
Often felt misplaced 
Tried to figure out 
Silly human race 
How did we ever get by 
How did we ever get by 
Although we seem to get on through it 
Though we seem there's nothin' to it 
All these pack of lies 
Well, we are a funny race 
And though we never will admit 
We're messin' up this world 
Never clean up our mess 
Ain't that a pity 
What are we really made of 
'Cause mother earth is gettin' mad 
But she's really gettin' sad 
'Cause we're on borrowed love 
Borrowed love 
Ain't even like the real thing 
Borrowed love 
Ain't even like the real thing 
'Cause love is bright as the sun 
And it flies like a dove 
It's not like borrowed love 
I used to know this guy 
His head was always in a whirl 
Never could commit 
To just one nice girl 
He had to have plenty 
And it caught up to him 
Because these girls they pulled the rug 
'Cause they could see he was a dud 
He was on borrowed love 
Just like this 
I don't have all the answers 
For these problems we face 
I never give up on 
Silly human race 
Because I love you 
Honey, for all its worth 
So always stick to the line 
Stay on borrowed time 
And love your mother earth 
Borrowed love 
Ain't even like the real thing 
Borrowed love 
Ain't even like the real thing 
'Cause love is bright as the sun 
And it flies like a dove 
It's not like borrowed love 
Borrowed love
