​A Silent Partner In a Three-Way Love Affair

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nothing I can say against the man you love Nothing I can say, 'cause I don't blame you for feeling like you do Your man happens to be my best friend, no, no, no The only hang-up is I love you too [Chorus] So I'm just a silent partner in a three-way love affair Silent partner in a three-way love affair Mmm-hmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm, yeah [Verse 2] Vividly I can remember when he and I were boys 'Cause that was when he gave me my very first clue While rapping about the woman who would share our future lives We both painted a picture that is you [Chorus] So I'm just a silent partner in a three-way love affair Silent partner in a three-way love affair Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh [Bridge] It could have been worse I mean, what if a stranger had found you first? Since it wasn't me, then I'm glad it was him 'Cause to know you this way is better Than never to know you at all [Verse 3] A thousand times I've asked myself if I'd take you if I could But I'm sworn to silence by the unspoken oath If we three could talk about it, it might do me some good But I fear to speak might make me lose you both [Chorus] So I'm just a silent partner in a three-way love affair I'm a silent partner in a three-way love affair Silent partner, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah (Silent partner) In a three-way love affair Silent partner in a three-way love affair (Silent partner) Ooh (Silent partner) (Silent partner) Ooh (Silent partner) Ooh (Silent partner) A silent partner in a three-way love affair
