when i think of all the times we said goodbye
and all the times i never made it out the door
i can't believe you really mean you mean it this time
we've made this scene so many times before
i keep thinking you'll be back here in the morning
i have dreams where i get up and let you in
i've got no idea where you are tonight
and i've got no right to ask you where you've been

it was one time too many
one word too few
it was all too much
for me and you
there was one way to go
nothing more that we could do
one time too many
one word too few

you and me, we had public relations
unstable conditions were a fact of life
i love you, you love me, and we love, we love to make a scene
we love to kiss and make up and we love to fight
i never listened to a goddamn thing you said
but you always made it very clear
talking to you was like talking to the dead
i had nothing to say that you wanted to hear

it was one time too many
one word too few
it was all too much
for me and you
there was one way to go
nothing more that we could do
one time too many
one word too few
