I am giving up on love
I am showing you the door
‘Cause it always ends the same
Love don’t live here anymore
I’m not bringin’ you no flowers
I’m not buyin’ you no ring
I’m not cryin’ in the night
It’s the death of everything

You say you want to know the reason
You tell me things will be just fine
But there’s nothin’ to believe in
It’s the same thing every time
First it’s butterflies and rainbows
Then it falls apart again
And I wind up with a broken heart
That’s the way the story ends

Been there done that
Nature of the game
If I fall in love 100 times
It always ends the same
Love comes love goes
No matter where or when
Every time that I should fall in love
It happens once again

So I’m puttin’ on my coat
And I’m headin’ out the door
It sure was nice to meet you
Sayonara and au revoir
I’ll be leavin in the mornin’
Don’t be beggin’ me to stay
‘Cause the party is now over And that’s all I’ve got to say

Been there done that
Nature of the game
If I fall in love 100 times
It always ends the same
Love comes love goes
No matter where or when
Every time that I should fall in love
It happens once again

It’s not a question of “if”
It’s a question of “when”
It’s the circle of life
that repeats now and then

Although I’ve said that I’m leavin’
I’ll be in the lost and found
You can come there and retrieve me
In for a penny in for a pound
‘Cause it seems I really love you
Leavin’ would be such a crime
And I’m bettin on you baby
The same old story one more time
