About The Song
“Sacrifice” by Elton John is a powerful ballad about the challenges of love and commitment in marriage. Released in 1989, it became one of Elton John’s most commercially successful and critically acclaimed songs.
The song’s lyrics explore the complexities of staying faithful in a long-term relationship, particularly when faced with temptation. The lines “It’s a human sign/ When things go wrong/ When the scent of her lingers/ And temptation’s strong” paint a vivid picture of the internal struggle between desire and loyalty.
Lyrics
It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptations strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes a callin'
And negativity lands
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things looking better baby
Just passin' 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
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things looking better, baby
Just passin' 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
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things looking better, baby
Just passin' 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
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
