From Step Inside

A temperamental ex stops and asks her why

But one cannot expect a true reply

Somehow love's picture hangs imperfect

And hand on heart we learn the score

The lovers and their wars

And wondering what's meant to be



For hope will spring eternal

When love's got you on your knees

Oh-oh shalalala woman

Shalalala man

[repeat]

Always and much more



Her body makes an "s", today they made a "c"

He sleepless needing her, he dogs her dreams

Then he wakes up on her doorstep

Then he wakes up on his floor

More drunker than before

She wouldn't open up to him



But hope will spring eternal

Through a multitude of sins

Oh-oh shalalala woman

Shalalala man

[repeat]

Always, always, always



But hope will spring eternal

When love's got you on your knees

Shalalala woman

Shalalala man

[repeat]

Always and for ever more
