I'd Rather Loan You Out

I'm alone while you're somewhere with some friend of yours
I'd find you but you'd let me down I know
It hurts to love so much and not be loved at all
But I'd rather loan you out than let you go
I'd rather be with you now and then than to know I'd never feel your lips again
My dreams are gone but I still want you so and I'd rather loan you out than let you go
[ steel ]
At least I'll always know that you'll love me once
Even though they stood in line to tell me no
If things with us can never be the way they were
Then I'd rather loan you out than let you go
I'd rather be with you...
