Someone's gonna get hurt before we're through
Someone's gonna pay for all the things you do
How many will it take how many hearts have got to break

Another love another fool to play your little game
Another love another fool they're all the same
Someone's a gonna get hurt before we're through
And don't be surprised that someone is you babe

How many will it take...

Another love another fool...
