Lyrics The Borderlines - Jeffrey Osborne

The Borderlines

Hey, the borderlines
Were closing in on the other side
With her love on my mind
I was just a working man
Working overtime in a foreign land
Tryin' to make a deal but knowing
Of thin paper walls
I met her in a small caf
We shared some time over Beaujolais
Within a short span of time
We fell in love
Hey, the borderlines
Were closing in on the other side
With her love on my mind
We shared our body love through the night
Though we knew the end was in sight
We never stopped to think our love might not be Borderlines
Could keep her love from me Borderlines
Could say what I can see
Borderlines
Can tell me what can be Borderlines
They will not control me, no Borderlines
Could keep her heart from me Borderlines
Could say what I can see
Borderlines
Can tell me what will be Borderlines
They will not worry me, no Hey, the borderlines
Were closing in on the other side
With her love on my mind
So we devised a working plan
A new disguise to fool any man
'Cause that’s the only way we could be wed
And once we saw arrangements were made
We knew that we could not then delay
Authorities were hot on our trail as we got away
Borderlines
Won’t keep her love from me Borderlines
Won’t say what I can see
Borderlines
Won’t tell me what can be Borderlines
They will not control me, no Borderlines
Won’t keep her heart from me Borderlines
Won’t say what I can see
Borderlines
Won’t tell me what will be Borderlines
They will not worry me, no Borderlines
Won’t keep her love from me Borderlines
Won’t say what I can see, no Borderlines
Won’t tell me what can be Borderlines
They will not worry me, no Hey, the borderlines
Were closing in on the other side
With her love on my mind
Hey, the borderlines
Were closing in on the other side
With her love on my mind (Oh… whoa…)
Let's rock, let's go Let's rock, let's go Let's rock, let's go Let's rock, let's go Let's rock, let's go Let's rock, let's go Let's rock, let's go Let's rock, let's go Let's rock, let's go Let's rock, let's go
