[Intro]
I've never had much luck regarding ladies
Don't understand them
I must confess
The Judys, Janes, Maryannes and Sadies
Add up to trouble in a dress

[Verse 1]
I start out optimistic
In matters of romance
But when I hear those violins
Then love's big game begins
The same old song
The same old dance

A dame will try and change you
A dame will bend your ear
A dame will turn you upside-down
Then run you out of town
You get the message loud and clear

[Chorus]
She needs a sentimental, gentle, sensitive guy
Just look at her [?]
Someone who's caring, sharing, daring, handsome and strong
Who will admit that he's wrong
And guys like us don't stand a chance
It's the same old song and dance
[Verse 2]
A dame will ask you questions
And then it's bombs away
Like, who's that girl you're looking at?
Does this make me look fat?
You lose no matter what you say

A dame will drive you batty
As crazy as a loon
The music in your heart goes 'round
That old familiar sound
Strike up the band and start the tune

[Chorus]
She needs a sentimental, gentle, sensitive beat
To knock her right off her feet
Someone who's caring, sharing, daring, somebody who'll
Become her personal fool
And guys like us don't stand a chance
With that same old song and dance

[Interlude]
Can't live with 'em
Or live without 'em
The thing about 'em is this
Don't forget every Mrs. once was a Ms
[?]
[?]
And sexy Suzies from France
All teach that same old song and dance
[Verse 3]
Why do I keep on falling?
Well, don't you think it's strange?
Why don't I walk right out that door?
And not come back for more?
That song and dance ain't gonna change

[Chorus]
She needs the sentimental, gentle, sensitive kind
Somebody she'll never find
She want's a lovey, dovey, conversationalist
Guy doesn't exist
Still I would jump at one more chance
At that same old song and dance

[Outro]
Hey, ba-ba-boo
Smell that in a [?]
Hello romance
Same song, same dance
