Ain't That the Way It Always Ends

[Verse 1]

Johnny came home broken-hearted

Said he lost his girl

He bottled up all the hurt in his heart

Punched a hole in the wall of his world

Now, Betty, she was a blonde-haired beauty

With an eye for a man who could spend

She stole his heart in a pickup truck

And drove off in a Mercedes Benz

[Chorus]

And he said, "Oh, and she looked so innocent

Talkin' about bein' just friends"

Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense

Ain't that the way that it always ends

[Verse 2]

Karen she had a long time dream

And only one man in her life

He kept her waitin' but she didn't care

'Cause he promised he'd make her his wife

Now, Billy, he had a good thing goin'

But he let it go to his head

He got careless and late one night

She caught them both in her bed

[Chorus]

And she said, "Oh, and he looked so innocent

Talkin' about bein' just friends"

Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense

Ain't that the way that it always ends

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Oh, it always looks so innocent

Talkin' about bein' just friends

Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense

Ain't that the way that it always ends

[Outro]

Ain't that the way it always ends

Ain't that the way it always ends
