lyrics

Now it's the same old story
And the same old stage
Though the cast is different
And you're looking at a different page
All the lines seem familiar
As you try to memorize your part
And when you finally meet the lady
You know she's gonna break your heart

Now it's the same old story
Though you approach it from a different place
And the lady is lovely
She wears such a beautiful face
And though you try hard to stop it
You feel the hopeless situation start
You're in love with the lady
And you know she's gonna break your heart

It's the same old story
Just read between the lines
Your heart will end up broken
And you'll tell yourself that love is just a state of mind (Ah ah ah)

Well it's the same old story
And you know just how it's gonna end
You're gonna wind up losing
So there's no reason to pretend
But you go through the motions
And you tell her that you'll never part
You say your love will last forever
But you know she's gonna break your heart

And though you try hard to stop it
You feel the hopeless situation start
You're in love with the lady
And you know she's gonna break your heart
Well you know she's gonna break your heart
You know she's gonna break your heart
You know she's gonna break your heart

It's the same old story
You tell her that you'll never never part
You're in love with the lady
But you know she's gonna break your heart

It's the same old story
I do, I do, I do remember all those lonely nights
Sitting and thinking on a cold and empty stage
It's the same old story
And the same old stage
