I've got an arrow through my heart and a hole in my head;
I've been through this before and I'd be better off dead,
Why the hell did I let myself fall for you?
I should know by now that love ain't real,
You can't put no faith in what you feel--
It's the same old story, but it ain't never true.

You hear it on the radio, you see it on TV,
But it just ain't meant for you and me;
You can read it in the papers and the magazines,
But love ain't meant for you and me.

I wonder where you were last night--
You never called, but that's alright,
I know you don't like to talk to my machine.
They say that all is fair in love and war,
But you just ain't worth fighting for--
This war is over, if you know what I mean.

You hear it on the radio, you see it on TV
But it just ain't meant for you and me;
You can read it in the papers and the magazines,
But love ain't meant for you and me.
