Crying, he loves me, loves me notShe checks her makeup in the rearview mirror
And turns the radio on
It hasn't hit her yet but all she's looking at

But make no mistake
Everybody learns the hard way about loveMeanwhile across town Tommy's in a dark bar

It's easy to think that there's something better out there somewhere
But make no mistake
Everybody learns the hard way about love

But make no mistake
