it's been a sin we've let slide
like everything else
we say it's alright
till we see what we've become
fulfilling our lives
with pleasure & security
these castles in shifting sands
even though we're not married
you're like a wife to me
you got your ways i got mine
someone must wonder
if we'll ever make a serious decision
even if it ain't legal
should we be faithful
in this marriage we've built
you're a wonderful woman
i don't have much to complain about
you at times had me in the palm of your hand
tryin to mold me
into something you can use
being used is my theology
and love is another step
i dare to take with you
i see us married long ago
will we continue
to star in this show
don't look now
but the stage lights are on us
