same old story

Singer: legend, john

nobody's buying

there ain't any truth to it

the fact is you're lying

but i'm getting used to it

promising we'll stay together

down in your heart

you know better

i know what i lost before it's gone

tell me slowly

over and over again

same old story

over and over again

tell me slowly

over and over again

over and over again

oh

say i'm overreacting

as if you believe in that

but you answer questions

that nobody even asked

although we may stay together

down in your heart

you know better

you pictured all the ways that you'll move on

but you just tell me slowly

over and over again

same old story

over and over again

tell me slowly

over and over again

over and over again

i will try to pull the wool over my eyes

you thought it would keep me warm

you said it was cold outside

tell me slowly

over and over again

same old stories

over and over again

tell me slowly

over and over again

over and over again

over and over again

over and over again

oh

over and over again

oh

say it again

yeah

keep on

yeah

over and over
