Lyrics

You just met him, yes, i know This is lasting, this will grow But oh, it's never that easy Believe me, it isn't at all You are starstruck, so was i I would love him, till i die But oh, it's never that easy My darling, not easy at all All your life you'll be with him Think of that, think it through He may chase some crazy whim When he does, you'll go too And you'll lose him now and then But each morning start again And oh, some days you'll be happy But it won't be easy It's never that easy You think so, but no Oh no, i know It isn't at all. Woman 2 The man says things he needs to say Turns to smile as he stands at my door And then i see his eyes are grey Oh god i've been here before To want him makes no sense at all Then we talk and out his feelings pour Inside all my defences fall Oh yes i've been here before The man's all wrong That's all that's true And what is worse This time good god he's twenty-two And since it's wrong, before we start Why should i rush to prove that i can break my heart all over? The man leaves and i'm on my own I sit here and simply watch the door And tell myself i'm fine alone Oh yes, i've been here before Oh yes, i've been here before Woman 2woman 1 The man's all wrongbut oh That's all that's trueit's never that easy And what is worsebelieve me This time, good god, He's twenty-twoit isn't at all And since it's wronghe may chase Before we startsome crazy whim Why should i rush let him go To proveor he'll That i can break my heart all overbreak your heart The man leaves and i'm on my owni'm fine alone without him I sit here and simply watch the doorand you'll miss him now and then Then tell myself i'm fine alonei'm fine alone Oh yes i've been here beforeoh yes i've been here before But it won't be easy Some days you'll be happy No never that easy But it won't be easy You think so but no Oh, no Both I know I've been here before
