The Same Old Story Lyrics

Larry Norman The Same Old Story

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

and though you try hard to stop it, you feel the
hopless situation start
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

and though you try hard to stop it, you feel the
hopless situation start
you're in love with the lady and you know she's gonna
break your heart
well you know she's gonna break your heart
you know she's gonna break your heart
you know she's gonna break your heart

it's the same old story
you tell her that you'll never, never part
you're in love with the lady but you know she's gonna
break your heart

it's the same old story
I do I do I do remember all those lonely nights
sittin' and thinkin' on a cold and empty stage
it's the same old story...
