lyrics

Love ain't fair
Love ain't fair to me
(repeat)
You know you hurt me tremendously
Hurt me relentlessly

When I first set my eyes on you
It felt like I was coming alive
And when I got to know you
Well it almost seemed as though you wanted me to keep you satisfied.

But when I called you up you said
"Can't you call again some other time"
I tried to get through to you
But with everything I'd do it seemed like
I was only wasting my dime.

Love ain't fair
Love ain't fair to me
(repeat)
You know you hurt me tremendously
Hurt me relentlessly

Down at the ballgame you were cheering
Til your eyes met mine
I was trying together to see you
But it always seemed to be you
Got away and left me standing on the foul line.

Love ain't fair
Love ain't fair to me
(repeat)
You know you hurt me tremendously
Hurt me relentlessly
