| They never told you at school
|
| they never told you anything
|
| that would be any used to you
|
| not now
|
| like how to be fair
|
| or how to behave with someone
|
| or how to get by when your memories
|
| all hurt so much
|
| if you didn’t want this pain
|
| you shouldn’t fall in love
|
| you knew the risk
|
| you took the chance
|
| you let it happen
|
| if you don’t want this pain
|
| you shouldn’t ever fall in love again
|
| and all of your friends
|
| they said «go on son, get in there
|
| you’ve got nothing to lose
|
| at all»
|
| they never said how you’d pay
|
| for every kiss with a year of regret
|
| or how you’d be left with a body
|
| that remembers everything
|
| if you don’t want this pain
|
| you shouldn’t fall in love
|
| you knew the risk
|
| you took the chance
|
| you let it happen, you let it happen
|
| if you don’t want this pain
|
| you shouldn’t ever fall in love again
|
| and even at The Flaming Lips
|
| you were jealous
|
| of some little miss
|
| who meant nothing at all
|
| if Bergman hasn’t solved it
|
| Woody Allen hasn’t solved it
|
| then what chance have you got?
|
| if you don’t want this pain |
| you shouldn’t fall in love
|
| you knew the risk
|
| you took the chance
|
| you let it happen, you let it happen
|
| if you don’t want this pain
|
| you shouldn’t ever fall in love again
|
| if you don’t want this pain
|
| you shouldn’t fall in love
|
| you knew the risk
|
| you took the chance
|
| you let it happen, you let it happen
|
| if you don’t want this pain
|
| you shouldn’t ever fall in love again
|
| not again |
