I had a girl,
And I treated her tenderly,
Oh yeah

She pretended that she cared,
While she only laughed at me

All my life she deserted,
I never knew how she flirted
Now it's me that's hurting
What a lesson I've learned

[Chorus:]

Good guys only win in the movies
Yes they do, now
They ride white horses, girl,
And they're friends with everyone

Yeah!
Good guys only make it in the movies
Baby, yeah!
Because in life,
They turn out sad and lonely ones

[End chorus]

How sincere now, baby,
Could your man have been?

I stuck right by ya, honey,
Both through thick and thin
Girl I did?
You know you turned the table

I don't think I'll make it,
But I'm gonna make it on my own

[Chorus]

Girl, I'm tired of your lying,
Tired of your alibi'ing,
Now my love is dying,
I'm gonna kiss your love goodbye

[Chorus]

Sad and lonely ones
Sad and lonely ones

[Chorus to fade]
