You can leave, or you can stay
But no one likes the one that got away
Don't dare to dream, don't pretend
If you think you're someone special,
think again
Everybody's getting married
Get divorced, 'cause they ain't happy
Now the kids just see their daddy
on the weekends
Buy a house and get a mortgage
Sell it when you can't afford it
It goes round and round and round
You just repeat it
They say,
"Hey, get a job and settle down
Come on girl, you've had your fun"
"Hey, get a daughter and a son
That's just what you do here
When you're young"
You fall in love
You think the first one
is the one so you hold on
And when you're old, you'll want more
And you'll regret all of the things
you didn't do before
Everybody's found their meaning
That's the reason they don't see
How it goes round and round and round
You just repeat it
They say,
"Hey, get a job and settle down
Come on girl, you've had your fun"
"Hey, get a daughter and a son
That's just what you do here
When you're young"
Blame the world and everybody else
For every heartbreak
Hate it when somebody's doing well
And all they say is
They say,
"Hey, get a job and settle down
Come on girl, you've had your fun"
"Hey, get a daughter and a son
That's just what you do here
When you're young"
