No one ever tells you how it feels to love and
lose
How it feels to waken and have breakfast with
the blues
How to go on livin' how to face another day
No one ever tells you the way
No one ever tells you what is like to walk
alone
Listenin' for those footsteps through the echo
of your own
Suddenly it hits you all your dreams weren't
worth a dime
But no one ever tells you in time
Long before the icy winds of winter
Autumn tells the swallows it's time to fly
(So) why do we pretend until the bitter end
Then it breaks our hearts to say goodbye
(No, no,) no one ever tells you (that) it's just
another fling
No one ever warns you when your heart
begins to sing
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and
war
But no one (no one) ever tells you before
Long before the icy winds of winter
Autumn tells the swallows it's time to fly
(So) why do we pretend until the bitter end
Then it breaks our hearts to say goodbye
(No, no,) no one ever tells you (that) it's just
another fling
No one ever warns you when your heart
begins to sing
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and
war
But no one (no one) ever tells you before
