I'm not the kind to cry on a dime
Still I've had my thoughts
I've seen movies before
Sat hopeful in the dark
I've seen books at the store
Sweet Harlequin romance
Book ends, lights go on
And love can't stand a chance
Can it be the truth
There is no love
Can it be there is no love
In love, death do you part
Changes one fine day
Dear Dad married again
Before my voice had changed
Love dies, illusion remains
I hear top forty songs
Lone housewives sing to the radio
Wonder what went wrong
Can it be the truth
There is no love
Can it be there is no love
Can it be the truth
There is no love
Can it be there is no love
I'm not the kind to cry on a dime
Still I've had my thoughts
I've seen movies before
Sittin' hopeful in the dark
I've seen books at the store
Sweet Harlequin romance
Book ends, lights go on
And my love can't stand a chance
You know I've seen damn books
Harlequin romance
Book ends, lights go on
And my love can't stand a
I guess I'm not quite as naïve
As I used to be
Just can't only believe
Everything you see
Still I sit in the dark
Watch the film unroll
Gotta have a sliver of hope
In this cold dark world
Can it be the truth
There is no love
Can it be there is no love
Can it be the truth
There is no love
Can it be there is no love
