[Jo Jo Benson]
We pass on the streets
And don't even speak
Yes, that's the price
We must pay
And I'll go home pretending
I don't even know you
If that's the only way
[Peggy Scott]
You even talk of a night
When you hold me tight
There's so little time you can stay
When I waitin' forever
To hold you an hour
If that's the only way
[Jo Jo & Peggy]
If that's the only way
My darling
That's the way
It will be
[Peggy Scott]
Love is (??)
I want you to love me
That's enough for me
[Jo Jo Benson, Peggy, both]
We both know it's wrong
But our love is too strong
And it seems to get stronger everyday
Oh, I'm do-one pretending
I don't even know you
If that's the only way
But I'm waitin' forever
To hold you an hour
If that's the only way
So I'm done now pretending
I don't even know you
If that's the only way
(Oh baby I'm done pretending...)
