How could I act like you and put a smile on my face?

Not even for a second would I lie to myself

Too many things are missing and there's a tear in my eye

It's not a question or an answer but it will change your mind

We'll be the same tomorrow

'Cause we all been painted by numbers

We're dancin' as we borrow

You said it was love, I said I'd like you to be mine

I couldn't act like you but I can love like you do

Between us there is something, I can't explain it to you

We'll be the same tomorrow

'Cause we all been painted by numbers

We're dancin' as we borrow

You said it was love, I got what I need to get by

We'll be the same tomorrow

'Cause we all been painted by numbers

We're dancin' as we borrow

You said it was love, I said I'd like you to be mine

We'll be the same tomorrow

'Cause we all been painted by numbers

We're dancin' as we borrow

I sing a song for sorrow

'Cause we all been painted by numbers

We're dancin' as we borrow

You said it was love, I got what I need to get by
