For so long
It's been you and me
But now there's someone else

I know... you want... to see

And, you say

Why can't we be free
But in the middle
I... don't want... to be


You say I'm wrong
To show my jealousy

You say that it's a chance
To show maturity


Well I don't want
To spoil your fantasy
But in the middle

I... don't want... to be

Oh Lord

When you gave me your affection
I thought (I thought)
I was moving in the right direction


But that's all gone
And I'm no referee

So in the middle
I... don't want... to be


I don't wanna cramp your style
That would be juvenile
You know you're more versatile than me


You know what you want to do
I'm not gonna question you

I always want you to feel free

Oh Lord

When I gave you my affection
I thought (I thought)
I was making such a good connection


But that's all gone
And so I have to leave

'Cause in the middle
I... don't want... to be


In the middle
I... don't want... to be
