I made a sacred vow to never stray
I've tried hard to stay true most every day
But when you caught my eye
Well, I kissed that trust goodbye
Now you and I have got to find a way
You know I never sought this situation
I've fought hard for your love, I've been patient
Now I need to hear your voice
Telling me you've made the choice
Between loyalty and liberation
'Cause I can't stand to tell another lie
I want to taste true love before I die
So come clean and share the shame
With only ourselves to blame
I never knew that it takes two to cry
At night I wait alone at lover's lane
'Til you finally slip out of that ball and chain
Rituals that we repeat
Desire and deceit
Passion shouldn't lead to so much pain
And I'm going mad just making up my mind
Who to love and who to leave behind
If neither one forgives
Well, it's a double negative
And I don't deserve devotion of no kind
And I can't stand to tell another lie
I want to taste true love before I die
So come clean and share the shame
With only ourselves to blame
I never knew that it takes two to cry
No I never knew that it takes two to cry
We never knew that it takes two to cry
