You let him by with another line again
And oh, each time he swears that's hurting you
It's coming to an end, but Lord knows
He'll never close a book on doing 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 old story
No, it don't ever change
And you'll always be sorry
If you don't put it on the shelf
And start living for yourself
Cause all he's given you
Is the same old 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
Well, can't you see
This ain't the fairytale
You built your love upon
Cause front to back, cover to cover
He's just leading your heart on
As he writes another page
To the same old story
No, it don't ever change
And you'll always be sorry
If you don't put it on the shelf
And start living for yourself
Cause all he's given you
Is the same old story
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Oh, the same old, same old story
Oh, the same old, same old story
