And it's a sad, sad story Johnnie had the ring but he never took the chance And it's all a game So he never showed his hand to how he played it The guessing game Same old story Susan, she don't fit but she weighs them just the same A life in a day And in the end No love, no loss Forbidden colors, their hearts' desire You're face to face And back to friends And just all smiles that lead nowhere at all Nowhere at all Nowhere at all Another sad, sad story 'Cus Johnnie had the ring but he never took the chance And it's an uphill climb One step forward, two steps back Don't look behind That uphill climb And in the end, no love, no loss Forbidden colors, their hearts' desire You're face to face And back to friends And just all smiles that lead nowhere at all And I show the emptiness Cause his hands are all alone The killing of mind and soul It's only half of it It's only half of it, oh oh, oh oh But in the end, no love, no loss Forbidden colors, their hearts' desire It's face to face And back to friends It's just all smiles that lead nowhere at all Nowhere at all Nowhere at all
