We have a love that is tarnished
I know that you have cheated
It's true that you have lied
You've answered calls from strangers
And pushed our love aside

But I'll ignore what I don't see
Sometimes it's best that way
Ignorance gives tarnished love
Another chance to play

We have a love that is tarnished
It doesn't shine like it shone when it was new
I know that vows can be broken
I'm sure of this 'cause I've made mistakes too

Love is seldom perfect
It often fades away
But, darlin', our tarnished love
Grows stronger every day

We have a love that is tarnished
It doesn't shine like it shone when it was new
I know that vows can be broken
Sure of this 'cause I've made mistakes too

Love is seldom perfect
It often fades away
But, darlin', our tarnished love
Grows stronger every day
Yes, darlin', our tarnished love
Grows stronger every day
We have a love that is tarnished
