A man can only last so long
Before temptation gets too strong
But I'm doin' all I know to do
To try and stay away from you
But I'm right on the Borderline

You know I got a woman at home
That I sure hate to leave alone
But still you just keep comin' on
Like I'm not made of flesh and bone
You got me right on the Borderline

Chorus:
Borderline Don't let me cross over
She's right behind me in the moonlight
Lord knows, I've tried to think of my lover
Borderline Don't let me cross her tonight

Promises are easy made
In the heat of passion, light of day
But let that daylight start to fade
And your best laid plans might get mis-layed
When you're right on the Borderline

Chorus:
Borderline Don't let me cross over
She's right behind me in the moonlight
Lord knows, I've tried to think of my lover
Borderline Don't let me cross her tonight

Borderline Don't let me cross her tonight

Borderline Don't let me cross her tonight
