To be with you is what I want more than anything But I must share my life with the one who wears my ring And there are tiny places I look into each night I love you but my hands are tied I know how much they need you and dear I understand I know you'll never leave 'em cause you're not that kind of man But I can't control my feelings though heaven knows I tried And I love you but my hands are tied My hands are tied and I can't break the ties that bind I love you more than life but you never will be mine I know how much you want me I can see it in your eyes And I love you but my hands are tied [ Steel ] My hands are tied... Yes I love you but my hands are tied
