I think i met a girl
Who likes to make me happy everyday
Then i bought a ring
To try and make her never go away

I bet there's half a million people
That feel the way i do
I don't have to drink a river now
Just to get on through

Then i lost a friend
A ruthless heart makes laughter slip away
I never took the time to think
About the senseless game we play

I bet there's half a million people
That feel the way i do
I don't have to drink a river now
Just to get on through

Then i lost the plot
And went and chased my sweetheart far away
Now i've realised
Life is not an easy game to play

I bet there's half a million people
That feel the way i do
I don't have to drink a river now
Just to get on through
