[Intro]

We swore our love forever

And stick always together

(Yeah, ohhh) (Uh, huh)

[Chorus]

Love is a

Love is a

Love is a most simple thing

But you're never gonna make it

If you're gonna fake it

[Verse 1]

The first time we met

We shared equal respect

How far do you have to go until you forget

We started as lovers

With devotion and love

Now the chance is broken

Life's tough

I tried to tell you, boy, you're not right for me

When you cheat on me with every girl you see

Just give it up

You're sorry please

'Cause it's not meant to be

If you want me, boy

I'm afraid you've lost my sympathy

[Refrain]

Don't look back, just go for what's ahead of you

Don't look back, I've got a different point of view

Don't look back, just go for what's ahead of you

Don't look back, I've got a different point of view

[Chorus]

Love is a

Love is a

Love is a most simple thing

But you're never gonna make it

If you're gonna fake it

[Verse 2]

I'd rather know the painful truth

Than a soothing lie

Life's much too short

So, please, except my goodbye

There's no turning back

Please, don't even try

You've just gone too far

You've gambled too high

You played your games on me

Playing with my heart

Didn't care about me

That was tearing me apart

I'm through with it

The only one I should really love

That is me, myself, but really that's in love, boy

[Chorus]

Love is a

Love is a

Love is a most simple thing

But you're never gonna make it

If you're gonna fake it

[Refrain]

Don't look back, just go for what's ahead of you

Don't look back, I've got a different point of view

Don't look back, just go for what's ahead of you

Don't look back, I've got a different point of view

[Bridge]

When you find yourself alone

Feeling stronger on your own

And you're looking into the unknown

That's when you've finally grown

[Chorus]

Love is a

Love is a

Love is a most simple thing

But you're never gonna make it

If you're gonna fake it

[Outro]

Life's much too short

So, please, except my goodbye
