It Happens Every Time Lyrics

I woke up to find that you just threw me in the ditch

Why do you turn me on and off like I'm a power switch?

Where have all the flowers gone?

And who turned out the lights?

Don't leave me hanging off the cliff

'Cause I'm afraid of heights

I show you what you mean to me

And you laugh and turn away

I'm sick of all these mental games

That I don't wanna play

Every chapter in this book

Ends up the same old way

I blame you and you blame me

And we both fade away

It happens every time

I can't take it anymore

Every time I'm in your house

I'm falling through the floor

It happens every time

So, what am I trying for?

Every time I give you love

You show it to the door

I try to go to sleep

But I'm so easily misled

I close my eyes to find that

You're still living in my head

What can happen next?

I'm spinning 'round the wheel

I've got to find somebody

Who can feel what I can feel

No

Birds sing in the sky above

Why do idiots fall in love

Baby b-b-baby I just want to be your man

T-t-t-t-try to help me

You know I don't understand

It happens every time

Don't throw me in the ditch

It happens every time

'Cause I'm not a power switch

It happens every time

Hey look, don't turn out the lights

It happens every time

'Cause I'm still afraid of heights

It happens every time

Oh, I don't wanna play

It happens every time

And we both fade away

It happens every time

Hey, where am I being led?

It happens every time
