Lyrics
It’s a human signWhen things go wrongWhen the scent of her lingersAnd temptation’s strongInto the boundaryOf each married manSweet deceit comes callingAnd negativity landsCold cold heartHard done by youSome things look better, babyJust passing throughAnd it’s no sacrificeJust a simple wordIt’s two hearts livingIn two separate worldsBut it’s no sacrificeNo sacrificeIt’s no sacrifice at allMutual misunderstandingAfter the factSensitivity builds a prisonIn the final actWe lose directionNo stone unturnedNo tears to damn youWhen jealousy burnsCold, cold heartHard done by youSome things look better, babyJust passin’ throughAnd it’s no sacrificeJust a simple wordIt’s two hearts livin’In two separate worldsBut, it’s no sacrificeNo sacrificeIt’s no sacrifice, at allCold, cold heartHard done by youSome things look better, babyJust passin’ throughAnd it’s no sacrificeJust a simple wordIt’s two hearts livin’In two separate worldsBut, it’s no sacrificeNo sacrificeIt’s no sacrifice, at allNo sacrifice, at allNo sacrifice, at allNo sacrifice, at allNo sacrifice, at all
