I am a man cut from the know
Rarely do friends come and then go
We were the two, our lives rearranged
Feeling so good that day
A feeling of love that day

Twisting and turning, your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever but now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

Raised by my dad, girl of the day
He was my man, that was the way
Feeling the need to make me her home
I don't know what, when or why
The twilight of love had arrived

Twisting and turning, your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever but now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

Twisting and turning, your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever but now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else
