Well, there was a little falter at the altar of confession Down on its knees, true love did fall After thirty-one days of sleepless nights She woke up to end it all With I love you on a fresh tattoo Engraved upon his chest She tore her name right from his heart So, here's to the unblessed Oh, love, oh, love, you fickle thing Such pretty words and golden rings It was a broken dream right from the start Bless their tortured, tangled hearts Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh Well, a blast of confusion coupled with delusion Makes the best-made plans sometimes fail They wined and they dined, had peace of mind She bought a gown and he rented tails But the mighty cloud of destiny Came drifting through the gates It busted-up what could've been A perfect, hopeless case Oh, love, oh, love, you fickle thing Such pretty words and golden rings It was a broken dream right from the start Bless their tortured, tangled hearts Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Oh, love, oh, love, you fickle thing Such pretty words and golden rings It was a broken dream right from the start Bless their tortured, tangled hearts Oh, love, oh, love, you fickle thing Such pretty words and golden rings It was a broken dream right from the start Bless their tortured, tangled hearts Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
