I'll Never Fall In Love Again Lyrics

Bobbie Gentry

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 ya.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
Don't tell me what is all about
'cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out,
out of the chains, the 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.
Don't tell me what is all about
'cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out,
out of the chains, the 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
I'll never fall in love again
