You let him by with another line again

And oh each time he swears this hurtin' you

Is comin' to an end

But lord knows

He'll never close the book on doin' you wrong

'cause every time you think it's over

It don't take him very long



Before he writes another page

To the same ol' story

No it don't ever change

And you'll always be sorry

If you don't put it on the shelf

And start livin' for yourself

'cause all he's givin' you

Is the same ol' story



Well any fool can tell just where it's gonna end

And he'll keep adding more and more

To the pain he's put you in

Can't you see

This ain't the fairy tale you built your love upon

'cause front to backcover to cover

He's just leading your heart on

As he...



Writes another page

To the same ol' story

No it don't ever change

And you'll always be sorry

If you don't put it on the shelf

And start livin' for yourself

'cause all he's givin' you

Is the same ol' story

Oh the same ol' same ol' story
