SACRIFICE

Elton John

It's a human sign

When things go wrong

When the scent of her lingers

And temptation's strong


Into the boundary

Of each married man

Sweet deceit comes calling

And negativity lands


Cold cold heart

Hard done by you

Some things look better baby

Just passing through


And it's no sacrifice

Just a simple word

It's two hearts living

In two separate worlds

But it's no sacrifice

No sacrifice

It's no sacrifice at all


Mutual misunderstanding

After the fact

Sensitivity builds a prison

In the final act


We lose direction

No stone unturned

No tears to damn you

When jealousy burns
