Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through Someone's gonna pay for the things you do How many hearts must break,how many will it take To satisfy you,just to satisfy you Another love,another fool To play your game Another love,another fool They're all the same Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through Don't be surprised if that someone is you You're gonna find when it's too late,a heart that just won't break To satisfy you,just to satisfy you How many tears were cried,how many dreams have died To satisfy you,just to satisfy you
