You taught me how to love
And you taught me how to hide it
You taught me late at night
With the empty gates behind us

And now, you're in the garden in the rain
Your skin's so wet, it's like
You'll never be dry again
You'll never be young again

And you taught me how to kiss
While your husband had his way
With a younger fitter lover
On the golf course in a bunker

And, they say romance is dead.

(Break)

You taught me how to love
And you taught me how to like it
You taught me that the night is
THe only place to find it

And now, you've forgotten everything
Except the things that cause you pain
And you'll never be young again

(Break)

And the curtains of this house
Are too thin to keep it out
It will get in in the end
And it will get you in the end

And you know romance is dead

And the little despair
Will go a long long way
And the little despair
Will go a long long way
(And the little despair)
Will go a long long way
(Will go a Long long way)
Will go a long long way
(Will go a Long long way)
Will go a long long way
(And the little despair)
Will go a long long way
(And the long long way
Will go a long long way
(And the little despair)
Will go a long long way
(And the little despair)
Will go a long long way
(And the little despair)
Will go a long long way
(And the little despair)
Will go a long long way
