the flamin lips - Spearmint

They never told you at school

they never told you anything

that would be any used to you

not now

like how to be fair

or how to behave with someone

or how to get by when your memories

all hurt so much

if you didn’t want this pain

you shouldn’t fall in love

you knew the risk

you took the chance

you let it happen

if you don’t want this pain

you shouldn’t ever fall in love again

and all of your friends

they said «go on son, get in there

you’ve got nothing to lose

at all»

they never said how you’d pay

for every kiss with a year of regret

or how you’d be left with a body

that remembers everything

if you don’t want this pain

you shouldn’t fall in love

you knew the risk

you took the chance

you let it happen, you let it happen

if you don’t want this pain

you shouldn’t ever fall in love again

and even at The Flaming Lips

you were jealous

of some little miss

who meant nothing at all

if Bergman hasn’t solved it

Woody Allen hasn’t solved it

then what chance have you got?

if you don’t want this pain

you shouldn’t fall in love

you knew the risk

you took the chance

you let it happen, you let it happen

if you don’t want this pain

you shouldn’t ever fall in love again

if you don’t want this pain

you shouldn’t fall in love

you knew the risk

you took the chance

you let it happen, you let it happen

if you don’t want this pain

you shouldn’t ever fall in love again

not again
