lyrics

How many times must the lesson be taught
How many times can the ticket be bought
With arms wide open to the firing line
We'll bet on the long shot every time

So you comb back your hair and you tuck in your shirt
You repeat to yourself that this ain't gonna hurt
To show all your cards is no longer your style
Cos you give them an inch and they'll take you a mile

Love is a game for which you want no part
Because nobody wins in affairs of the heart

He bought you a diamond he bought you a rose
He wraps you in his arms when the cold wind blows
He'll say it himself he's not like the rest
Your parents aren't sure but you know best

He's a good enough man but he drinks after dark
Cos he knows nobody wins in affairs of the heart

How many times must the lesson be taught
And how many times will we find ourselves caught
Like a moth to the flame we worship the fire
It's the mesmerising doom of human desire

It's a merciless end but it's worth it for the start
Still nobody wins in affairs of the heart

Yeah you'd avoid it like the plague if you had any smarts
Cos nobody wins in affairs of the heart
