Lyrics
IT'S NO GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN
LIKE IT HAS SO MANY TIMES BEFORE
MY HEART'S BEEN BROKEN SO MANY TIMES
AND NOW IT HAS ONCE MORE
IF I SOUND NASTY
OR BITTER
IT'S BECAUSE I AM
AND WHAT ELSE COULD I BE
WHEN MY SO-CALLED GIRLFRIEND
COMES OVER AND BRINGS HER
BOYFRIEND ALONG TO MEET ME
( GUITAR SOLO )
WE MET THROUGH A MUTUAL FRIEND
ALONE ON THAT HOT SUMMER NIGHT
THEY SAY THAT OUR FRIEND'S A MAGICIAN
WELL HE SURE DID HIS MAGIC THAT NIGHT
BECAUSE YOU KNOW
THAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT YOU
HAVE BRIGHTENED UP MY DAY
AND MADE MY LIFE OK
AND MADE MY LIFE OK
( 12 STRING GUITAR SOLO )
DIDN'T YOU WONDER WHERE I'VE BEEN
WHEN I CAME BACK YOU TOOK ME IN
DIDN'T YOU WONDER WHY
I HAD TO SAY GOODBYE
YOU SAT ALONE AND CRIED
BUT NOW I'M BY YOUR SIDE
AND I CAN'T HELP FEELING
CLOSER TO YOU
THAN HOW I DID THE OTHER DAY
YOU UNDERSTOOD WHAT I HAD TO DO
AND THE THINGS I COULDN'T SAY
OOH.........
( GOODBYE )
( GOOD! )
( COOL ORGAN RIFF )
IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN
LIKE IT HAS SO MANY TIMES BEFORE
MY HEART'S BEEN BROKEN SO MANY TIMES
AND NOW IT HAS ONCE MORE
IF I SOUND NASTY
OR BITTER
IT'S BECAUSE I AM
AND WHAT ELSE COULD I BE
WHEN MY SO-CALLED GIRLFRIEND
COMES OVER AND BRINGS HER
BOYFRIEND ALONG TO MEET ME
YEAH
( GUITAR SOLO...FADE....)
