I'm not the kind to cry on a dime   Still I've had my thoughts   I've seen movies before   Sat hopeful in the dark   I've seen books at the store   Sweet Harlequin romance   Book ends, lights go on   And love can't stand a chance      Can it be the truth   There is no love   Can it be there is no love      In love, death do you part   Changes one fine day   Dear Dad married again   Before my voice had changed   Love dies, illusion remains   I hear top forty songs   Lone housewives sing to the radio   Wonder what went wrong      Can it be the truth   There is no love   Can it be there is no love   Can it be the truth   There is no love   Can it be there is no love      I'm not the kind to cry on a dime   Still I've had my thoughts   I've seen movies before   Sittin' hopeful in the dark   I've seen books at the store   Sweet Harlequin romance   Book ends, lights go on   And my love can't stand a chance      You know I've seen damn books   Harlequin romance   Book ends, lights go on   And my love can't stand a      I guess I'm not quite as naïve   As I used to be   Just can't only believe   Everything you see   Still I sit in the dark   Watch the film unroll   Gotta have a sliver of hope   In this cold dark world      Can it be the truth   There is no love   Can it be there is no love   Can it be the truth   There is no love   Can it be there is no love
