"Ain't That The Way It Always Ends" lyrics

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

And he said, "Oh, and she looked so innocent
Talking about being just friends."
Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense
Ain't that the way that it always ends?

Karen. She had a long-time dream
And only one man in her life
He kept her waiting but she didn't care
'Cause he promised he'd make her his wife
Now, Billy. He had a good thing going
But he let it go to his head
He got careless and late one night
She caught them both in her bed

And she said, "Oh, and he looked so innocent
Talking about being just friends."
Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense
Ain't that the way that it always ends?

Oh, it always looks so innocent
Talking about being just friends
Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense
Ain't that the way that it always ends?

Ain't that the way it always ends?
Ain't that the way it always ends?
