Ain’t That the Way It Always Ends Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Johnny came home broken-hearted
Said he lost his girl
He bottled up all the hurt in his heart
Punched a hole in the wall of his world
Now, Betty, she was a blonde-haired beauty
With an eye for a man who could spend
She stole his heart in a pickup truck
And drove off in a Mercedes Benz

[Chorus]
And he said, "Oh, and she looked so innocent
Talkin' about bein' just friends"
Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense
Ain't that the way that it always ends

[Verse 2]
Karen she had a long time dream
And only one man in her life
He kept her waitin' but she didn't care
'Cause he promised he'd make her his wife
Now, Billy, he had a good thing goin'
But he let it go to his head
He got careless and late one night
She caught them both in her bed
[Chorus]
And she said, "Oh, and he looked so innocent
Talkin' about bein' just friends"
Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense
Ain't that the way that it always ends

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, it always looks so innocent
Talkin' about bein' just friends
Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense
Ain't that the way that it always ends

[Outro]
Ain't that the way it always ends
Ain't that the way it always ends

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
