Love books have told me
That love is eternal
And that we must give our lives
For the one we love so much
But what they didn't say
Is how much it hurts
When we bet all we've got
And lose this game of love
Don't wanna lose you anymore darling
Don't wanna lose you anymore
Love movies told me
There's always a happy ending
That only love is enough to be happy
And that nothing else matters
But there's so much pain until there
And often this truth is hidden
Hollywood has seen better days
I prefer real life with you
Don't lie to me anymore darling
Don't lie to me anymore
Don't lie to me anymore darling
Don't lie to me anymore
Love songs have told me
That love makes us suffer
And today I see clearly
We're the ones who deceive ourselves
But know I'll be here waiting for you
With heart and arms wide open
With the same great love as always
All the love a good man can give
Don't go away anymore darling
Don't go away anymore
Don't go away anymore darling
Don't go away anymore
