I'll forget my troubles, start my life anewMake a new beginning, forget the past and youI'll burn all my bridges, leaving you behindFind myself a new love, free you from my mindI talk a pretty story, I tell myself it's trueThat any man could always take the place of youI talk a pretty story, but I'm not fooling meCause my pretty, pretty story can never beI tell him it's overI tell him it's overOver with and doneTell him I'm happyAin't I the lucky oneA fun while it lastedThat's the way I playLove him and leave himCan't get hurt that wayI talk a pretty storyI tell myself it's trueThat any man could always take the place of youI talk a pretty storyBut I'm not fooling meCause my pretty, pretty story can never beI talk a pretty story, I tell myself it's trueThat any man could always take the place of meBut I'm not fooling me
