The Same Old Story 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 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
