They were doing all right
They were doing o.k.
There were still questions
At the end of the day

Oh, but when they found out
All they wanted to know
Thought they knew each other
So well that they needed no more
Answers to questions
That they didn’t even know
That’s when the love stopped
That’s when the love stopped
They can’t figure it out
They were well on their way
Now they’re heartbroken
They don’t know what to say

Yeah it hapens to most of us
When we are young
You think you’re in love
And your heart rules your tongue
Talking you into trouble
’til there’s no where to run
That’s when the love stops
Oohh oohh the love stops love stopped yeah that’s when the love stops
Now they ain’t even friends
Happens to most of us
When we are young
You think you’re in love
And your heart rules your tongue
Talking you into trouble
’til there’s no where to run
That’s when the love stops
Oohh oohh
Yeah the love stop
Ed thats when love stops
Now they ain’t even friends
That’s when love stopped
Oh oh love stopped
Thats when love stops
Now they ain’t even friends
