It never really crossed my mind
That she could ever be so blind
To leave our future lookink dim
And go with him
Then came the lover
And he had to have her
I thought I told her
It would tear her life apart
Now she loves the lover
Because everybody loves a lover
And every lover leaves behind a broken heart
Ba ba ba
His reputation had got around
He was the lover of the town
And all the girls were very proud
To be seen with him in a croud
But he would not keep them around
Took their hearts and put them down
It's a shame she didn't see
She didn't believe me
Then came the lover
And he had to have her
I thought I told her
It would tear her life apart
Now, she loves the lover
Because everybody loves a lover
And every lover leaves behind a broken heart
Listen to me little girl I've spoken
Every lover leaves behind a broken heart
