[Intro]
(ooh)
(ooh)

[Verse 1]
It's the same old people involved
With the same old problem to be solved
Morning glory, it's the same old story
Of a guy being hurt as he can be
And I know, because I took you back
And all over again, you started hurting me

[Refrain]
(Ooh, it's the same old story)

[Verse 2]
It's the same old heart being broken
With the same cruel words being spoken
Morning glory, it's the same old story
Of a girl who wants to be free
And I know, because I took you back
And all over again, you want to be free from me

[Refrain]
(Ooh, it's the same old story)
(Ooh, it's the same old story)

(Brass solo)

[Verse 3]
It was the same old foolish heart mending
Uh-with the same old heart break-uh-ending
Morning glory, it's the same old story
Of a girl who couldn't play her part
And I know, because I took you back
(Took you back and all over again)
And all over-
Oh, yes, I took you back
(Took you back and all over again, ooh)
And all over again, you're going to break my heart

[Outro]
(Ooh, it's the same old story)
The same old story
(Ooh, it's the same old story)
Morning glory
(Ooh, it's the same old story)
Maaa, the same old story
(Ooh, it's the same old story)
You're breakin' my heart
(Ooh, it's the same old story)
