LeAnn Rimes – Borrowed Lyrics

I know you’re not mine, only borrowed
Cause you already belong to her, at least you said so
But I’m starting to believe it ain’t the whole truth
As we’re lying side by side, I get the whole you

I Wanna hold out, but gotta hold on,
Even though I know it’s wrong
Cause I don’t want to give you back
I don’t want to give you back
You’re the best I’ll never have
So I don’t want to give you back
But you’re borrowed

Do you tell her that you love her?
Like you do me?
Do you make love to her,
The way you make love to me?
Well I keep myself alone in case you call tonight
Its pathetic how I lie around
And wait all the damn time
It’s a short high and long low,
Every time you have to go

Cause I don’t want to give you back
I don’t want to give you back
You’re the best I’ll never have
So I don’t want to give you back
But you’re borrowed
Only borrowed

How much time is left and you don’t return?
And you don’t return?
How much time?
Oh it’s no return, no return, how much time?

I know you’re not mine, only borrowed
And I don’t want to give you back
I don’t want to give you back
You’re the best I’ll never have
So I don’t want to give you back
No I don’t want to give you back
No I don’t want to give you back
You’re the best I’ll never have
So I don’t want to give you back
But you’re borrowed, only borrowed,
Cause you’re borrowed

    Everybody makes mistakes, yes it’s wrong to have an affiair, but it’s also wrong to judge. Don’t look at the speck in someone elses eyes before you take out the plank in yours. This song is the most honest song I have heard and I think Leanne has guts to be able to open her heart and tell the world how she feels. We can’t change the past. We can only move forward and make our future better. It’s all about choices.

  • Monique says:

    I think ppl need to move on from this “affair” they were not the first and will not be the last ppl that may do this. I love Leann Rimes and she didnt “steal” anyones husband or children. Pretty sure it was the husband who made the decision to leave his family because he fell in LOVE with another woman. Who he is married to now and is happy. His wife was a mess and how can you blame the man for not wanting something different something better for himself. Not excusing how they handled it but whats done is done. Move on ppl cuz they have. And FYI I am was a wife who was cheated on also….more than once I chose to leave and accepted the fact that I obviously didn’t give my husband the happiness he needed. It hurts it sucks but it was reality and as much as I loved him I wanted him happy….which wasn’t with me. Now I’m the happiest I have ever been! Who would have thought that it is true you don’t know what you had until it is gone…but it is also true that you don’t know what you been missing until it arrives<3 Luv you Leann your beautiful your voice is a gift and I wish you and your husband all the happiness is the world!

  • Susie R. says:

    “Borrowed” implies consent. I believe the word Rimes wanted was “cheating” or “home-wrecking.” Possibly “trollop-like, self-centered indulgence.” “Borrowing” does not mean what she thinks it means.

  • Joan says:

    She meaning LeAnn Rimes.My husband was a cheater and by the grace of God we still are together.Forgive but you never forget.

  • Joan says:

    She took someone else husband and children. Been there but stayed together.Raised our children and will be married 50 years in June.God forgive you for you have most certainly did wrong.By the way what goes around comes around.

    @Sarasmile4641
    thank you for the help, we already corrected it since then

  • Sarasmile4641 says:

    I think this part of the Lyric is incorrect-It’s a short hide and long low,. I think it should be It’s a short HIGH and long low. I mean what what would the words ” short hide” mean? It makes no sense,whereas-It’s a short high and long low, make sense.
