She told me her story, hoped I would understand   And I listened closely, as anybody can   But there's a distant look that's in her eyes   And as the nights grow longer, alone in bed she cries      My baby met a man on her first date   He stole her heart an' sealed her fate   And she thought she'd found a friend for life   He wanted her but not to be a wife      * La la li, la la li   A fool for love never wonders why   La la li, la la li   She hangs on in but it's just another goodbye      ** (Now) every day is like another day   She lets it all drift on away   An' every man is like another man   They come and go but she never can      And from sixteen to thirty-two   She lost her loves and her good looks too   It's so sad to see at first hand   From a teenage beauty to a one night stand      * Repeat   ** Repeat twice      [INSTRUMENTAL]      ** Repeat and fade
