They Oughta Write A Song

Back at the start it was all hearts and flowers
Candlelight rondezvous that lasted for hours
But since he's gone, You toss and turn until dnbawn
Nobody ever told you it would feel like this when
Each tender dream just seems to fade like dew does
Your arms keep reaching for the lover man who was
Faithless and mean, but now he's gone from the scene
They oughta write a song about that
About the way it hurts when you realize
All those promises were false
About the lonely sound when the music dies
Like a broken waltz.

If there were prizes for those sighs of regret
You'd be the envy of the "Oh-Woe-is-Me" set
Romance is through, it's just the piper and you
They oughta write a song about that.

Romance is through, it's just the piper and you
They oughta write a song about that
Somebody somewhere...
Oughta write a song about that.
