You’ve been taking all the punches for a long time, baby  Falling on your face again  Twice shy, but three times crazy  No one knows why you need to try it again  Girlfriends keep telling you to lose me, lady  Call you on the telephone  Can’t see what you see in me  It ain't no surprise, I never showed it to them    If you wanna believe in love, it’s cool  Keep on trying to lead me back to school  And when everything stays the same  You lost the game    It's the twenty-second time you tried to leave me, lady  We’ll never let this stroy end  Nice try, but you’re back with me  Putting Jack back in his box again  No one can tell me get my facts straight, too late  You know I never change my mind  Strike three, we broke on payday  Life’s nothing but a lot of moments in time    If you wanna believe in love, it’s cool  Keep on trying to lead me back to school  And when everything stays the same  Your life’s gone down the drain    You’re acting like an innocent fool  Insisting on society’s rules  But listen to something, your life’s in a dump and  There ain’t that many fish in the pool    If you wanna believe in love, it’s cool  Keep on trying to lead me back to school  And when everything stays the same  Your life’s gone down the drain    Strike one, loads of fun  Plenty of trouble of everyone  Strike two, what to do  Never gonna see the end of me and you
