Lyrics
I’ve loved and lost again
Oh, what a crazy world we’re livin’ in
True love has no chance to win
I’ve loved and lost again
I ask you, what chance have I
When each love I meet just makes me cry?
He loves a while then says, “Goodbye”
I’ve loved and lost again
To be true to one alone
Don’t seem to matter anymore
They tell you, “You’re out of style”
Unless you’ve had three or four
I’ve loved and lost again
Oh, what a crazy world we’re livin’ in
True love has no chance to win
I’ve loved and lost again
To be true to one alone
Don’t seem to matter anymore
They tell you, “You’re out of style”
Unless you’ve had three or four
I’ve loved and lost again
Oh, what a crazy world we’re livin’ in
True love has no chance to win
I’ve loved and lost again
