If you don't put it on the shelf and start livin' for yourself
'Cause every time you think it's over it don't take him very long
And he'll keep adding more and more to the pain he's put you in
He'll never close the book on doin' you wrong
No it don't ever change and you'll always be sorry
Before he writes another page to the same ol' story
Well, any fool can tell just where it's gonna end
'Cause all he's givin' you is the same ol' story
'Cause front to back, cover to cover
Can't you see this ain't the fairy tale you built your love upon
Writes another page to the same ol' story
No it don't ever change and you'll always be sorry
If you don't put it on the shelf and start livin' for yourself
He's just leading your heart on as he
Is comin' to an end but Lord knows
'Cause all he's givin' you is the same ol' story
