Johnny came home broken-hearted
Said he lost his girl
He bottled up all the hurt in his heart
Punched a hole in the wall of his world
Now, Betty, she was a blond-haired beauty
With an eye for a man who could spend
She stole his heart in a pick-up truck
Then drove off in a Mercedes van
And he said

Oh, and she looked so innocent
Talkin' 'bout bein' just friends
Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense
Ain't that the way that it always ends?

Sharon, she had a long time dream
And only one man in her life
He kept her waitin', but she didn't care
'Cause he promised her he'd make her his wife
Now, Billy, he had a good thing goin'
But he let it go to his head
Well, he got careless, and late one night
She caught them both in her bed
And she said

Oh, and he looked so innocent
Talkin' 'bout bein' just friends
Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense
Ain't that the way that it always ends?

Oh, it always looks so innocent
Talkin' 'bout bein' just friends
Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense
Ain't that the way that it always ends?
Ain't that the way that it always ends?

Ain't that the way it always ends?
