It's been a long, long while
Since we've been strung out on love
And there's no mask of a smile
That can hide what we're thinkin' of
From your heart I hear
Only distant echoes of empty love
I guess this must be the matchpoint of our love
Early in the game when you broke me
Just like a serve (matchpoint matchpoint)
We shoulda walked off the court
But we both didn't have the nerve (matchpoint matchpoint)
So we volleyed a while with small talk
And a smile and as push comes to shove
I'd say this must be the matchpoint of our love
No one ever held me the way you did
No one could ever love me the way you did
How could love slip away from me?
In life's lonely game love too often
Can let you down (matchpoint matchpoint)
And tho' no one's to blame
Love is stil the only game in town (matchpoint matchpoint)
When it's love's last play you can only say by the stars above That this
must be the match point of our love
Da da da, da da da da da da (matchpoint matcpoint)
Da da da da da, da da da da da da (matchpoint matchpoint)
Da da da da da, da da da da da da (matchpoint matchpoint)
Da da da da da, da da da da da da (matchpoint matchpoint)
(Oooooooooo)
(Oooooooooo)
(Oooooooooo)You say you've been hurt before
It's time you realized
The promises they never meant to keep
They're nothing more than lies
You can come to me with your problems
How he turned you on with his lines
There ain't no use in pretending
'Cause you know love is blind
Who hurt you this time
You're laying your heart on the line
Who said it would last forever
And he'd never break your heart
You should have known better
Lovers sometimes part
So baby stop crying
And wipe those teardrops from your eyes
It's time to get back on your feet again
Life's full of alibis
If I've told you once (once), I've told you twice (twice),
Said it a thousand times before
But you're so young and too innocent
You keep on coming back for more
Who hurt you this time
When you lay your heart on the line
Who said it would last forever
And he'd never break your heart
You should have known better
Cause lovers sometimes part
So hold your head up high
It's lonely in the dark
Let someone else try to mend your broken heart
To make a brand new start of things
And I would give you everything that you were missing
Who said it would last forever
And he'd never break your heart
You should have known better
Lovers sometimes part
Who said it would last forever
And he'd never break your heart
You should have known better
Lovers sometimes part
Who said it would last forever
Who said it would last forever
Who said it would last forever
