well the party is through, we said our good-byes   we had a good time, yet there's tears in my eyes   oh, what can it be, what's the matter with me   you left me half loved   we stood in the dark and you held my hand   why were you afraid, i can't understand   i wanted your kiss, but it's always like this   you left me half loved   well you hold me close, everytime we danced   am i a fool, to think that i had a chance   to hope, you see, i'm your big romance   baby that's why i'm in the dark   oh-oh-oh-oh, my friends have all said   to love you is wrong   they say you're too young, but i'll string along   someday you'll wake up and then i'll make up   for bein' half loved
