I never thought I could lose myself, but I just can't hide it (can't hide it)
They never let you down easy
Rhy. Fig 3:
Now listen
Rhy. Fig 4a:
Sometimes love is like a slap in the face, you been burned and still
It's the same old mistake

Love's got a hold on me, I can't believe it, but it's plain to see
Turns me upside down and inside out
Don't know why it never fails to make you scream and shout
Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2:
I never knew I could fool myself, no no, I never thought I could hurt so good
But I just can't hide it, guess I'm feelin' no pain, now listen
Rhy. Fig 3:

Rhy. Fig 3:
Rhy. Fig 4b w/ End 2:
Sometimes love is like a ball and chain
Keeps you up at night, why is it always the same
If you wanna know the truth, it's something I can't explain

Yeah na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na na
