You slam down the phone
I sleep all alone, once again

You say it was you
When the argument's through, once again

And just for a change
Say, "Could we start again?" once again

But believe me, I never tried
To make you something else
You tried too hard to be yourself
Over and over again  

You go through the phase
Like those bad, bad old days, once again

You play the same scene
Like a Hollywood queen, once again

And I, for my part
Let you play, let you start, once again

But believe me, I never tried
To make you something else
You tried too hard to be yourself
Over and over again
