[Verse 1]
We knew when we began, it wouldn't last forever
But we always thought, somehow it would get better
There should be love and affection, not rejection
Love is the key, I'm sure, to open every door

[Pre-Chorus]
But when love goes away, there's no foundation
And no foundation of love means everything is loose above
Just another crazy scene, just another nightmare dream

[Chorus]
And it all falls down like a house of cards
And it all falls down like a house of cards

[Verse 2]
So stop those angry words, they don't prove a thing
Just look around, and see the mess we're in
Every single day, you know I need you
I need the kind of love I can believe in

[Pre-Chorus]
But when love goes away, there's no foundation
And no foundation of love means everything is loose above
Just another crazy scene, just another nightmare dream

[Chorus]
When it all falls down like a house of cards
And it all falls down like a house of cards in the wind
It all falls down like a house of cards
Falls down

[Verse 1, repeated]
We knew when we began, it wouldn't last forever
But we always thought, somehow it would get better
There should be love and affection, not rejection
Love is the key, I'm sure, to open every door

[Pre-Chorus]
No more crazy scenes, no more nightmare dreams

[Chorus]
And it all falls down like a house of cards
And it all falls down like a house of cards
And it all falls down like a house of cards
And it all falls down like a house of cards

[Outro]
Our love is a house of cards (All falls down)
And it's falling down (Like a house of cards)
Well, our love is a house of cards (All falls down)
And it's falling down (Like a house of cards)
Well, our love is a house of cards (All falls down)
Well, our love is a house of cards (Like a house of cards)
Well, our love is a house of cards (All falls down)
Well, our love is a house of cards (Like a house of cards)
And it's falling down
