Why cry when she tells you she's leaving?
A teardrop or two won't keep her loving you
Be grateful she's gone, no more to lead you on
Only fools want to try living a li-i-i-ie

You can't change her mind with your grievin'
It's wrong to pretend, let it end
This first love may die but you've still got time,
give it one more try
And that's better than living a lie

Be grateful she's gone, no more to lead you on
Only fools want to try living a li-i-i-ie

This first love may die but you've still got time,
give it one more try
And that's better than living a lie
And that's better than livin' a lie
