I know that I'm a fool to keep on loving you so hopelessly Someone else is in your heart so what's in it for me Why do I dream of you when I'm just dreaming of what used to be There's no future in the past so what's in it for me But I can't help it I can't seem to break the ties that bind These ties of love are wound too tight around this heart of mine I know that it's a sin to wish my life could end and cease to be But what's life without your love what's in it for me [ trumpet ] But what's life without your love what's in it for me
