[Verse 1]
I heard the news from every fool in town
You got somebody new
And I never hurt so bad
The strangest fiction just came true
Crowds will gather for a twisted wreck
Well, all right stare at me
It's just another story of love
That's turned into a tragedy

[Pre-Chorus]
What am I supposed to do?
You want a toast from the man who's lost
The man who's double-crossed
From cover to cover
Baby you and me were just book lovers

[Chorus]
Since you turned away
I turned the page on my happiness
We were just book lovers
Once upon a time you were mine
Now I must confess
Now I can't bear to read the rest

[Verse 2]
It could have been a happy ending girl
Goodness knows, I tried
But I see so clearly now
Even through these tears I've cried
You wanted love to be a fairly tale
With a sleeping beauty scene
Now another prince has come
And kissed you out of all my dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
What am I supposed to do?
You want a toast from the man who's lost
The man who's double-crossed
From cover to cover
Oh, what am I supposed to do?
Baby, what am I supposed to do?
What, what, what am I supposed to do?
Baby you and me were just book lovers

[Chorus]
(Since you turned away
I turned the page on my happiness)
We were just book lovers
(Once upon a time you were mine
Now I must confess)
We were just, we were just book lovers
(Since you turned away
I turned the page on my happiness)
Chapter one: Having Fun
(Once upon a time you were mine
Now I must confess)
Chapter two: Look at Me and You
Chapter three, chapter three: Baby, I Was Down One Knee
(Since you turned away
I turned the page on my happiness)
Chapter four: You Didn't Want Me No More
(Once upon a time you were mine
Now I must confess)
