I knew it from the get-go
I knew it from the start
Boy, I should've let go
Cruelty as art
I can't get that song out of my head
Or that girl out of my mind
I used to hang on every word she said
I must be the stupid kind

Some day this love will be your guide
Some day we'll all be satisfied
Some day your day will come
Some day this love will be alright

You meant everything to me
Even when we were heading for the trees
Pull me over, book me, I don't care
I've run my last red light
From now on the future's bright
And I'm heading for the last great love affair

All those other girls
Maybe they cried
Maybe I said I loved them
Maybe I lied
I got to running out of towns
With a price up on my head
Hoping they would chase me to the other place
Before the devil found I was dead

Some day this love will be your guide
Some day we'll all be satisfied
Some day your day will come
Some day this love will be alright

And that writing on the wall
That's graffiti, that's all
It used to be so hard to care
Now someone's tampered with my brakes
Bring jaws of steel for goodness sakes
'Cause I'm crashing through the last great love affair

And this heart here on my sleeve
Every little thing it will believe
Is that some happy ending over there?
Yonder is forever more
So press that metal to the floor
'Cause I'm speeding toward the last great love affair
