Oh, I'm drawn to you like a burnin' flame
But somebody's waitin' that bears my name
Oh, Lord knows I'd love to love you
'Cause you know I'm just a man
But I can't, not from where I stand

You see I made a promise when I put on that ring
And I plan to keep it, babe it's a sacred thing
Well, heaven knows I'm tempted
I hope you understand
That I can't, not from where I stand

Oh, from where I stand, there's a golden band
And I swear I couldn't stand to lose it all
So, I better run while I still can
'Cause I can't babe, not from where I stand
Oh, no, no babe

Oh, from where I stand, there's a golden band
And I swear I couldn't stand to lose it all
So, I better run while I still can
'Cause I can't babe, not from where I stand
No I can't babe, not from where I stand
Yeah, not from where I stand
