I never wanted anything in this whole world as much as I want you
From the first moment I saw you, I felt my heart yearning. 
But I know you gotta man and you love him real strong he claims to love
you too. But I know that he don't love you like I do. And I can't help the 
way I feel everyday it gets so hard to deal. The one I love so much don't 
feel the same about me. Gotta let it be.

I keep tellin myself better walk on and leave well enough alone
better find a woman of my own, keep on tellin myself can't make her my very
own and leave well enough alone better move on

Only know your man by seeing him with you, respect forces me not to 
pursue. DOn't worry steppin out of line I would never do I pray that one day
you'll have a change of heart. Promise will never part
oh no, you'll be cherished by me like a work of art

I just can't hold what's inside my foolish pride won't let me hide
can't stop my love cause you are my destiny. 

I keep tellin myself better walk on and leave well enough alone
better find a woman of my own, keep on tellin myself can't make her my very
own and leave well enough alone better move on

And I can't help the way I feel everyday it gets so hard to deal.
Can't stop my love cause you are my destiny.

I keep tellin myself better walk on and leave well enough alone
better find a woman of my own, keep on tellin myself can't make her my very
own and leave well enough alone better move on.
