about

From the album Larry Norman (Starstorm), but fading out a fraction earlier

lyrics

​​Well it's the same old story and the same old stage
And though the cast is different
It's like you're looking at the same old page
All the lines seem familiar
While you try to find a place to start
You're in love with the lady
And you just hope she doesn't 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 rushes of emotion start
You're in love and you can't help it
You just hope she doesn't break your heart
You hope she doesn't 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 (Aah aah aah)

Well it's the same old story
And you wonder how it's gonna end
Are you gonna wind up losing
Then there's no reason to pretend
You feel the rush of emotions
As she tells you that you'll never part
She says her love will last forever
You just hope she doesn't break your heart
You hope she doesn't break your heart

And though you try hard to stop it
You feel the rushes of emotion start
She says her love will last forever
You hope she doesn't break your heart

You hope she doesn't break your heart [x3]

She tells you that you're never gonna part
You'll end up with a broken heart
It's just the same old story
It's just the same old story
It's just the same old story
I do, I do, I do remember all those lonely nights
Sittin' and thinkin' on a cold and empty stage

[Whistling]
