May you never fall in love Let alone be let down May you never even enter the second time around May you never consider doing yourself in Consequences beguiling May you never even have a begin Let the others spend all their wily Contemplating the apropos While you'll remain there smiling Like you're in the know I used to wonder I been known to dive right in To the essential blunder of the original sin May you never consider Doing yourself in With consequences so beguiling May you never even ever begin Yeah the poets Would have you believe It's better to love and have love leave 'Cause they get more work When it's time for you to grieve May you never fall in love Let alone be let down May you never even enter love's Second time around May you never fall in love
