[Verse 1]
Take my car (take my car), smash it up (smash it up)
I can’t find a way to stop
Hurting you (hurting you) and I don’t know (I don't know)
How and why we stooped so low

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Drive off a bridge or drive
Into the night (baby, a light)
I told you our love was just
Just born to die (just born to die)

[Chorus]
Nobody stays in love
It’s always bound to happen
Nothing perfect’s everlasting, ooh-ooh
Nobody stays in love
One way or another
We were bound to hurt each other, ooh-ooh
Nobody stays in love

[Post-Chorus]
Nobody stays in love
Nobody stays in love
Nobody stays in love
Nobody stays in love
Nobody stays in love
Oh, I'm still in love, love, love
[Verse 2]
Here she lies (here she lies), cold as ice (cold as ice)
They say she won’t make it through the night
Hope is dwindling to a cinder
She was hurled right through the window
Cried “I can’t hold on much longer to you”

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now she says to me under
Hospital light (hospital light)
Lovers, not love, are the
First ones to die (first ones to die)

[Chorus]
Nobody stays in love
It’s always bound to happen
Nothing perfect’s everlasting, ooh-ooh
Nobody stays in love
One way or another
We were bound to hurt each other, ooh-ooh
Nobody stays in love

[Post-Chorus]
Nobody stays in love
Nobody stays in love
Nobody stays in love
Nobody stays in love
Nobody stays in love
Oh, I'm still in love, love, love
[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus]
Nobody stays in love
It’s always bound to happen
Nothing perfect’s everlasting, ooh-ooh
Nobody stays in love
One way or another
We were bound to hurt each other, ooh-ooh
Nobody stays in love

[Post-Chorus]
Nobody stays in love
Nobody stays in love
Nobody stays in love
Nobody stays in love
Nobody stays in love
Oh, I'm still in love, love, love
