Oh, at first it was just like heaven
In your heart and in your arms
And paradise discovered
In the sweetness of your charms
Yes, and every day a miracle
To awake and be with you
And every night in your embrace
Another dream come true

But castles sometimes crumble
Some rivers still run dry
And fairy tales are witches tales
When the truth becomes a lie
And a pocket full of promises
Won't buy a diamond ring
And every word you said to me
Just didn't mean a thing

It's over now, you've gone too far
I can't take anymore
Be careful now - don't hurt yourself
When you walk through that door

I can hardly stand to look at you
It makes me want to cry
Get your tongue out of my mouth
Because I'm kissing you goodbye!

Now I suppose I'll never know
Why things turned out this way
And why the one you love the most
Is the one you drove away

Yes, and I suppose I'll never, ever
Really understand
How I could think that you'd
Make me a happy, married man

So now I sit and contemplate
The reason for it all
The climb to heights of ecstasy
The failure and the fall
If a broken heart is purposeful
It's in the lesson learned
No matter what the reason is.....
It hurts when you get burned

Now I don't care, I don't think
I'll ever love again
"Kemosabe" used to mean
A good and trusted friend

But now it stands for therapy
And all the tears I cry
Get your tongue out of my mouth
'Cause I'm kissing you goodbye!
