I shoulda left you where I found you
I shoulda had some better sense
I got your name right here in tattoo
To remind me of what I did
It was an age old kind of story
It's happened since the dawn of time
About a man searching for glory
Until he starts to lose his mind
You know you can't squeeze love out of lemons
You can't break a broken heart
You ain't alive unless you're livin'
Until you end up in the dark
I wanna ask you a simple question
But don't you answer if you can't
With the checks your mouth is writing
Do you think they're gonna cash?
I know it all seems kind of harmless
Cause you've done it all before
But it's never really heartless
Til you just take more and more
You know you can't squeeze love out of lemons
You can't break a broken heart
You ain't alive unless you're livin'
Until you end up in the dark
Cause we've been down this road twice before
And I told you plain as day
You can't squeeze love out of lemons
And some people they never change
Oh, they never change
You know you can't squeeze love out of lemons
You can't break a broken heart
You ain't alive unless you're livin'
Until you end up in the dark
Cause we've been down this road twice before
And I told you plain as day
You can't squeeze love out of lemons
And some people they never change
Oh, they never change"
