Wrong Again

I feel empty, I feel deceived

You shouldn't have done that to me

I was fine till you came along

I'd grown used to being alone

But you made love to me and then

I hoped it might happen again

And now you tell me you love someone else

And that life's too complicated

And you throw me a cliché like "We'll still be friends"

Well mister, you're wrong again

Cause my friends are people who love me

Not like you, not like you

And they try to take good care of me

They wouldn't hurt me like you do

Will I ever get smart, once again I'm the fool

To let you be so unnecessarily cruel

And now you tell me you love someone else

I was just light entertainment

Did you think you would cause me no pain?

Wrong again, wrong again

I thought my karma might protect me

From any harm you might subject me to

That my heart could be ruled by my brain

Wrong again

So you took a little piece of me

Laid me open for the world to see

But if I meant so little to you

Why couldn't you just leave me be?

It wouldn't have made so much difference to you

But it meant the whole world to me

And now you tell me you love someone else

You were thinking of her all along

So you thought my intentions were roughly the same

Wrong again, wrong again

I might not have minded if I'd been prepared

I wouldn't have felt such rejection

But your heart's not as free as you promised me

And you've realised on closer inspection

So now you tell me you love someone else

You were thinking of her all along

You assumed that I knew all the rules of the game

Wrong again, wrong again
