It was not to long ago
He bought tickets to a show
The curtains were drawn, the lights were on, the story he didn't know
She was a foreign film about
Love, mistrust and doubt
He tried to change and rearrange and now he wanted out

[Chorus:]
(He said) She said he would never make it
Shot down he could never take it
He said that she never believes him at all
It's the story of my life
She said he would never make it
Shot down he could never take it
He said that she never believes him at all
It's the story of my life

The plot had many holes
And the jokes were getting old
He tried to leave and for some reason he came back wanting more
He wasted so much time
He could never get it right
He tried to change and rearrange and now he wanted out

[Chorus:]
(He said) She said he would never make it
Shot down he could never take it
He said that she never believes him at all
It's the story of my life
She said he would never make it
Shot down he could never take it
He said that she never believes him at all
It's the story of my life

I was never good enough
I could never be what you wanted
I'm gonna die trying
So just kill me now
I was never good enough
I was never gonna make it
I'm gonna die trying
So just kill me now

[Chorus:]
(He said) She said he would never make it
Shot down he could never take it
He said that she never believes him at all
It's the story of my life
She said he would never make it
Shot down he could never take it
He said that she never believes him at all
It's the story of my life

Shot down he could never take it
She said he would never make it
