It's always been a cycle for the broken heart
Jessie won't you come back home
Nothing ever turns out the way you think
It's about you, it's about me, it's about us and my history
It's a sad sad story in the same old song
Whatever seems right always turned out wrong
Mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers
What would other people say?

* It's about love, it's about hate when you lose your faith
It's about truth, it's about lies that you just can't hide
It's about joy, it's about pain there is something to gain
It's about black, it's about white, it's everything we learn in life

I guess I wanna head on west
Drain out a collection of records and things
Get a new car, get a new guy, get a newlit sunlight
It's just the same old story in a worn-out song
Do they ever really know what's going on?
Mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers
What would other people say?

[Repeat *]

Doesn't matter anymore what you think I think I'm gonna leave
Cause I believe I'll fall in love again, in love again
So you think I've done that for you, now it's time to give it up
I've had enough of wasted love from my face

It's about life, it's everything we learn in life
It's about love, it's about hate, it's about losing your face
It's about life
