[Chorus]
Tell me again about that love that lasts forever
How we'll ride the ups and downs all through the years
And I won't think about my pain as I listen to you explain
How that perfect love just up and disappears

[Verse 1]
Oh, later on when you're gone and I can think again
I'll sit down and I'll figure out what went wrong
Well, I expect to take my licks, but life plays dirty tricks
I knew that I was sinking but I held on way too long

[Chorus]
Tell me again about that love that lasts forever
It's all happiness and smiles and never tears
And I won't think about my pain as I listen to you explain
How that perfect love just up and disappears

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Chestnut eyes and golden hair, well, that's what brought me here
I looked at you and froze right in my place
There's a line you never cross, between what's won and lost
I knew I stepped right over when I stared into your face
[Chorus]
Tell me again about that love that lasts forever
It's all happiness and smiles and never tears
And I won't think about my pain as I listen to you explain
How that perfect love just up and disappears
How that perfect love just up and disappears
