Say that there's no spark,
but you still burn me when I get too near
that's the price that you pay I feel
The kisses taste the same,
but your eyes no longer shine
Cause what you once desired,
now just leaves you tired
The love that once controlled you,
now has bought and sold you
One more lonely nightmare,
one more than you can bear
Don't believe it, but it's true
We don't act as lovers do
There's always room for the hand of fate
You took my heart and I made it mine.
Well, every dog has its day,
Because things that want you
mean soon become routine.
The words of love that matter
Doors that want you all through,
Nothing ventured, nothing new.
We don't act as lovers do.
Scene changes from day to day.
I'm just a messenger from time to time
Cause all that's ever passed
Will soon be gone at last
Don't believe it, but it's true
We don't act as lovers do
We don't act as lovers do, we don't act as lovers do.
