You cannot love these eyes of mine
For this heart of mine loves you not
You cannot have this soul of mine
For this mind is mine to keep

I cannot grant your every wish
I cannot greet your every day
I will not have your hand to hold
I will not watch as we grow old

Your love for me my love affair
Cannot last and will not fair
Your love for me my loveless friend
Will not start and will not end.

My ways are set, my mind is mine
My heart is taken by another
We cannot love and will not marry
My life and love you will not carry
