Why is it that every time
Someone's hand reaches out to me
I just wanna hold on to it
'Cause I take it all so seriously
But over and over
I prove to be a fool
And over and over
I don't learn this simple rule
I don't know just what is best
Hard truth or soft soap
And I don't know which is worse
No hope or false hope
No I don't know
Why is it that every time
Someone somewhere says they care
I just wanna believe it's true
Wholesale and foursquare
But over and over
I get taken like a chump
And over and over
I fall back into a slump
Why is it that every time
Someone somewhere offers me some rope
I cling to it for my dear life
But in the end I feel like a dope
'Cause over and over
Someone lets me down
And over and over
I feel like a clown
