| Nothing I can say against the man you love
|
| Nothing I can say, 'cause I don’t blame you
|
| For feeling like I do
|
| Your man happens to be my best friend, no, no, no
|
| The only hang-up is I love you too
|
| So I’m just a silent partner
|
| In a three-way love affair
|
| A silent partner in a three-way love affair
|
| Mmm-hmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm, yeah
|
| Vividly I can remember when he and I were boys
|
| 'Cause that was when he gave me my very first clue
|
| While rapping about the woman
|
| Who would share our future lives
|
| We both painted a picture that is you
|
| So I’m just a silent partner
|
| In a three-way love affair
|
| A silent partner in a three-way love affair
|
| Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh…
|
| It could have been worse
|
| I mean, what if a stranger had found you first
|
| Since it wasn’t me, then I’m glad it was him
|
| 'Cause to know you this way is better
|
| Than never to know you at all
|
| A thousand times I’ve asked myself
|
| If I’d take you if I could
|
| But I’m sworn to silence by the unspoken oath
|
| If we three could talk about it
|
| It might do me some good
|
| But I fear to speak might make me lose you both
|
| So I’m just a silent partner
|
| In a three-way love affair
|
| I’m a silent partner in a three-way love affair
|
| Silent partner, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
|
| A silent partner in a three-way love affair
|
| A silent partner in a three-way love affair
|
| Silent partner
|
| Silent partner
|
| Silent partner
|
| Silent partner
|
| Silent partner
|
| A silent partner in a three-way love affair |
