Two divided by love 
Can only be one
And one is a lonely number
Two divided by love 
Can only be sad
Can only hurt one another

Every night your tears come down 
And I know how you're feelin' inside
Loneliness is no one's friend
I've been takin' the same kind of ride
And that just shouldn't be
If you're still lovin' me
Come on baby 

Two divided by love 
Can only be one
And one is a lonely number
Two divided by love 
Can only be sad
Can only hurt one another

I'd by lyin' to myself
If I said I was gettin' along
All I do is think of you and I know
That it's here you belong
Come on girl make your way
We can start from today
Puttin' it back together 'cause

Two divided by love 
Can only be one
And one is a lonely number
Two divided by love 
Can only be sad
Can only hurt one another

Take away the rain from a flower
And the flower just can't grow
Take away you from me girl 
Out of my mind 
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind

Two divided by love 
Can only be sad
Can only be broken hearted
Two divided and blue 
Should take what they had 
And go back to where they started

Two divided by love 
Can only be one
And one is a lonely number
Two divided by love 
Can only be sad
Can only hurt one another
