You’ve been taking all the punches for a long time, baby

Falling on your face again

Twice shy, but three times crazy

No-one knows why you need to try it again

Girlfriends keep telling you to leave (loose) me, lady

Call you on the telephone

Can’t see what you see, I never showed it to them

 

If you wanna believe in love, it’s cool

Keep on trying to lead me back to school

And when everything stays the same

You lost the game

 

It is twenty-second time you tried to leave me, lady

We’ll never let this stroy end

Nice try, but you’re back with me

Putting Jack back in his box again

No-one can tell me get my facts straight, too late

You know I never change my mind

Strike three, broke on payday

Life’s nothing but a lot of moments in time

 

If you wanna believe in love, it’s cool

Keep on trying to lead me back to school

And when everything stays the same

Your life’s gone down the drain

 

You’re acting like an innocent fool

Insisting on society’s rules

But listen to something, your life’s in a dump and

There ain’t that many fish in the pool

 

Strike one, loads of fun

Plenty of trouble of everyone

Strike two, what to do?

Never gonna see the end of me and you
