Borrowed Time Lyrics

(Olivia Newton-John)

I saw the light but it was too late, too late
I wanted to fight but it was too great, too great to fight it

Guess I'm loving on borrowed time
Didn't know that you could not be mine
I'm the fool I guess
I'm the fool I guess

I started to cry but I was cried out, cried out
Cause you opened my eyes but with the light out
I couldn't see it

Guess I'm loving on borrowed time
Didn't know that you could not be mine
I'm the fool I guess
I'm the fool I guess

I begged you to leave her but it was too late, too late
Cause though you have deceived her
You knew that she'd wait
She'd wait forever

Guess I'm loving on borrowed time
Didn't know that you could not be mine
I'm the fool I guess
I'm the fool I guess

Guess I'm loving on borrowed time
Didn't know that you could not be mine
I'm the fool I guess
I'm the fool I guess
Oh baby, I'm the fool I guess
Oh now, I'm the fool I guess

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
