i don't know how love starts

maybe it's the glance from across the room

or a hint of just the right perfume

suddenly two strangers become friends

i don't know how love starts

but i sure know how it ends

a few angry words you just can't take back

cold bitter tears as a suitcase is packed

next thing you know you're back to being strangers again

i don't know how love starts

but i sure know how it ends

maybe it's the way she says your name

and no one else's touch feels quite the same

suddenly you find you're fallin' in

i don't know how love starts

but i sure know how it ends

a few angry words you just can't take back

cold bitter tears as a suitcase is packed

love comes and goes but don't ask me why or when

i don't know how love starts

but i sure know how it ends

no

i don't know how love starts

but i sure know how it ends
