To be with you is what I want more than anything

But I must share my life with the one who wears my ring

And there are tiny places I look into each night

I love you but my hands are tied



I know how much they need you and dear I understand

I know you'll never leave them cause you're not that kind of man

But I can't control my feelings though heaven knows I tried

And I love you but my hands are tied



My hands are tied and I can't break the ties that bind

I love you more than life but you never will be mine

I know how much you want me I can see it in your eyes

And I love you but my hands are tied

[ steel ]

My hands are tied and I can't break the ties that bind...

Yes I love you but my hands are tied
