You’ve been taking all the punches for a long time, baby
Falling on your face again
Twice shy, but three times crazy
No one knows why you need to try it again
Girlfriends keep telling you to lose me, lady
Call you on the telephone
Can’t see what you see in me
It ain't no surprise, I never showed it to them

If you wanna believe in love, it’s cool
Keep on trying to lead me back to school
And when everything stays the same
You lost the game

It's the twenty-second time you tried to leave me, lady
We’ll never let this stroy end
Nice try, but you’re back with me
Putting Jack back in his box again
No one can tell me get my facts straight, too late
You know I never change my mind
Strike three, we broke on payday
Life’s nothing but a lot of moments in time

If you wanna believe in love, it’s cool
Keep on trying to lead me back to school
And when everything stays the same
Your life’s gone down the drain

You’re acting like an innocent fool
Insisting on society’s rules
But listen to something, your life’s in a dump and
There ain’t that many fish in the pool

If you wanna believe in love, it’s cool
Keep on trying to lead me back to school
And when everything stays the same
Your life’s gone down the drain

Strike one, loads of fun
Plenty of trouble of everyone
Strike two, what to do
Never gonna see the end of me and you
