Larry Norman - 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 You're in love with the lady and you know she's gonna break your heart It's the same old story Just read between the lines Your heart will end up broken And you'll tell your self that love is just a state of mind Well 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
