Nothing I can say against the man you love Nothing I can say, 'cause I don't blame you For feeling like I do Your man happens to be my best friend, no, no, no The only hang-up is I love you too
So I'm just a silent partner In a three-way love affair A silent partner in a three-way love affair
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
So I'm just a silent partner In a three-way love affair A silent partner in a three-way love affair
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
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
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
A silent partner in a three-way love affair A silent partner in a three-way love affair
