LeAnn Rimes - Borrowed Lyrics

This is the most heartbreaking song...

Right or wrong, sometimes we can't help who we call in love with.

I saw her in concert and before she sang that song she said that a lot of her friends told her it was like she stabbing herself in public. I get that

I know you're not mine, only borrowed
Cause you already belong to her, at least you said so
But I'm starting to believe it ain't the whole truth
As we're lying side by side, I get the whole you

I Wanna hold out, but gotta hold on,
Even though I know it's wrong
Cause I don't want to give you back
I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
But you're borrowed

Do you tell her that you love her?
Like you do me?
Do you make love to her,
The way you make love to me?
Well I keep myself alone in case you call tonight
It's pathetic how I lie around
And wait all the damn time
It's a short hide and long low,
Every time you have to go

Cause I don't want to give you back
I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
But you're borrowed
Only borrowed

How much time is left and you don't return?
And you don't return?
How much time?
Oh it's no return, no return, how much time?

I know you're not mine, only borrowed
And I don't want to give you back
I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
No I don't want to give you back
No I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
But you're borrowed, only borrowed,
Cause you're borrowed

The version with Stevie Nicks is much better.

Her voice amazing love love love
Thanks lean

She did Break Up a Marriage, Maybe not a Strong 1 or good1 But eddie ruiened her Marriage as well.
I love❤Leanne Rimes as an Artist. And then all the other humiliating things she did too eddies wife&kids. Abd Screwing him well she was Pregnant!!! Ive Been Cheated On!!!

People want her to pay for her wrong doing , for the rest of her life. It’s been over 7-8 years. Forgiveness is in order!!!

People need to stop judging . Her situation can happen to anybody. Sometime it just happens , it happen to me , I had to make a decision and I made it for me. Because for it was the right thing to do. I walked away but not everybody can do the same.
.

So raw and honest, doesn’t make it right! Brave song.

She puts so much emotion in this song, I can feel her pain. Who can really blame her for how her heart feels. You can't help who you love and obviously he loved her too.

What a voice! The incomparable LeAnn Rimes.

💙💙💙

Hate her all you want. This song IS my life. It happens. We don’t plot it. I’m crying all of my eyelash extensions off..

Great song written by Dan Wison

Such a nice voice and a haunting song... I want to cry my heart out!

I know you're not mine, only borrowed
Cause you already belong to her, at least you said so
But I'm starting to believe it ain't the whole truth
As we're lying side by side, I get the whole you
I Wanna hold out, but gotta hold on
Even though I know it's wrong
Cause I don't want to give you back
I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
But you're borrowed
Do you tell her that you love her
Like you do me
Do you make love to her
The way you make love to me
Well I keep myself alone in case you call tonight
It's pathetic how I lie around
And wait all the damn time
It's a short hide and long low
Every time you have to go
Cause I don't want to give you back
I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
But you're borrowed
Only borrowed
How much time is left and you don't return
And you don't return
How much time
Oh it's no return, no return, how much time
I know you're not mine, only borrowed
And I don't want to give you back
I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
No I don't want to give you back
No I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
But you're borrowed, only borrowed
Cause you're borrowed

I saw her the other night in Biloxi, MS. So gorgeous, I was very happy. Dream come true. I cried when the selfie in front didn't happen, I tried my best but lot of people ahead of me and she's in a hurry too.. Till we meet again LeAnn.... I LOVE YOU

Love a lot of her songs but this is shit. Whining about sneaking off behind her husband's back to screw a married man. Yeah boo hoo.
If she kept her legs closed she wouldn't be feeling such "anguish." Anyone who feels sorry for her on this aspect is a slut

Rex Havoc no, this song is about forgiveness. How she felt cheating. She doesn't have anything else like it

Rex Havoc Life happens! We don’t want to be this when we grow up. You can’t wreck a strong marriage! Can you hear the pain & suffering in her voice? It’s real talk. She’s not a magic spell binding witch. Godddd..

Jolene. JOLENE !!!!

best song

yea you "borrowed" eddie from brandi...pretty sure she doesn't see it that way. great song though, leann!

WOW! Beautiful Leann

I don't see this song as a cheating song...I hear it as someone being borrowed as in time, on this earth. I recently lost someone and I realize his life on this earth with me was only borrowed....What amazing times we had...

This song is so perfect

Canção maravilhosa com essa perfeita voz!!!!

Yea....been there, got lost and then heartbroken...life really goes on...terrific song !!

great song

What a beautiful song Leann!!!

try to listen to this song and not choke

Leonardo di parma same.. 💔

I Saw Her Live In Vegas. it was Bomb 😊 She did a Great Job

I'm so jealous. Go see her perform this song or any of her songs live is on my bucket list :) She is so talented.

I wish to see you live

Robbed of a number 1 hit

LeAnn wrote this song, then put it away for nine months, it upset her so much.
The last song recorded for "Spitfire"...

this is my all time favorite video by leann .her passion in the song plus her gorgeous looks just blew me away.i really love this gal.her studio versions are tops!

You can hear her pain in the song

Umas das minhas músicas preferidas dela. Letra belíssima!! Dá pra ver que a LeAnn está totalmente entregue nesta canção.

Beautiful...you feel her anguish...her love...life gets messy...she did not destroy a marriage...there is no tearing apart a strong marriage!

Same thing happened to me too but it wasn't the whole time & there were other issues with the husband. That's why I divorced him. LeAnn Rimes is 1 of my favorite singer/song writer.

she destroyed a marriage and cheated on her ex-husband, but she's still a great singer

baahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - funny stuff there

Song was written for her friend B4 her cheating

love this song and leanne too!!!

Cassandra Swartwout...listen to the Howard Stern, interview with B...she was and is vile...the marriage was so fractured before anything happened with these two...I do not endorse it and neither do L & E....People have jumped on this becuz of the media attention that B has got. She has spun so much venom and then now is asking people to leave her ex and the stepmom alone...saying she even prays for L....ALL becuz she has become aware that her children will see what she writes! Listen to that interview and read between the lines...she brought the women into the bedroom(but E, couldn't touch them)...she did a lot of touching...she bedded all of Europe(her words) and then had the gall to claim that E, gave her the crud that causes Vaginal Warts....that lays dormant for years with women...her family walked around naked, parents included when she grew up...this gal didn't come with morals....E was young, look at his track record(he was w/ the same woman for at least 14 yrs)...if he slept around like she has claimed, people would be coming out of the woodwork...only 2...Sheanna & L...People need to open their eyes and not follow the masses.....People make mistakes and they have owned up to!!! Let it go!!!

As if screwing a married man is a moral thing to do.

Didn't say it was...just tired of the Brandy bandwagon!

I saw LeAnn perform this at C2C in London and a standing ovation from 20,000 people says it all. Fantastic song, sung from the heart. That's MY kind of Country music. PLEASE come back to the UK LeAnn - we love you xx

Love it

Pathetic. Just. Pathetic. You didn't just ruin his wife's life, you destroyed those kids (no matter how nice you are) tramp! Terrible writing too. Sounds like a middle school poem.

+Josephine Estrada It was not so don't make up lies to justify Leann breaking up that family & the way she has treated the mother of those boys is despicable

So then why come listen to it?

Cassandra: Haters are going to hate. I wonder what we could say about judging you if YOU were under the microscope?

you don't have to agree with adultery to see the bravery of her putting her life and art out there to be judged and criticized. People make mistakes and need to heal after that. Lets see your song writing ability about your less than perfect moments. We all have them.

Cassandra Swartwout You cant cheat God. He cheated she WAITED...

ME ENCANTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Clearly about her then affair, but now Hubby
