What do you get when you fall in love? A guy with a pin to burst your bubble That’s what you get for all your trouble I’ll never fall in love again I’ll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a guy? You get enough germs to catch pneumonia After you do, he’ll never phone you I’ll never fall in love again I’ll never fall in love again

Don’t tell me what it’s all about ‘Cause I’ve been there and I’m glad I’m out Out of those chains, those chains that bind you That is why I’m here to remind you

(What do you get when you give your heart? You get it all broken up and battered That’s what you get, a heart that’s shattered I’ll never fall in love again Oh, I’ll never fall in love again)

(What do you get when you fall in love? You get enough tears to fill an ocean That’s what you get for your devotion I’ll never fall in love again I’ll never fall in love again)

What do you get when you fall in love? You only get lies and pain and sorrow So, for at least until tomorrow I’ll never fall in love again I’ll never fall in love again

Out of those chains, those chains that bind you That is why I’m here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love? You only get lies and pain and sorrow So, for at least until tomorrow I’ll never fall in love again I’ll never fall in love again I’ll never fall in love again
