 Intro

Verse 1

I know just what to say

 it's just a game I play

 now I'm here on my own.

I'd like to be with you

 I guess you always knew

 still I'm all alone.

I know the story but it all worked out.

Chorus

It never happens to me

 it never happens to me.

(Maybe it's the way my life was meant to be.)

It never happens to me

 it never happens to me.

(Love's just a door that's locked and there's no key)

it never happens to me.

Verse 2

I know every line

it's just a waste of time

'cause it's all such a shame.

I've seen it all before and everytime I'm sure

that it ends up to same.

I know the story but it all worked out.

Chorus

It never happens to me

it never happens to me.

Maybe it's the way my life was meant to be.

It never happens to me

it never happens to me.

Love's just a door that's locked and there's no key

it never happens to me.

Verse 1

I know just what to say

it's just a game I play

now I'm here on my own.

I'd like to be with you

I guess you always knew

still I'm left all alone.

I know the story but it all worked out.

Chorus

It never happens to me

it never happens to me.

Maybe it's the way my life was meant to be.

It never happens to me

it never happens to me.

Love's just a door that's locked and there's no key

it never happens to me.
