[Verse 1]
If you could envision
The meaning of a tragedy
Ooh, you might be
Surprised to hear it's you and me
But when it comes down to it
You never made the most of it
Ooh, so I cried, cried, cried
And now, I say goodbye

[Refrain]
And I won't be made a fool of
Don't call this love

[Verse 2]
When did you decide
That I didn't have enough to buy
Forgive and forget you a thousand times
For the fire and the sleepless nights

[Refrain]
And I won't be made a fool of
Don't call this love

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't call this love

[Chorus]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La, love, la-la, love
La, love, la-la, love
La, love, la-la-la, la, love

[Verse 3]
Why did you feel the need
To prove that everybody else was right?
No, I won't fight

[Bridge]
Oh, you're my tragedy
Tragedy, oh, you're my tragedy
Oh, this is
Oh, no, no, no

[Chorus]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La, love, la-la, la, love
La, love, la-la, love
La, love, la-la, love
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La, love, la-la, love
La, love, la-la, love
Love
