We were close at the beginning, true lovers at the start
And in the early innings never far apart
But after all the hits and runs and the errors of our ways
Both of us had restless hearts that started to stray
And in the end we went our separate ways, found another place to play our games
With all our new exciting friends with all their strange exotic sounding names
Oh, it was good at the beginning when we thought we could be friends
Yeah it was good at the beginning but it was better at the end
You had all your little quirks, oh and I had mine
But in the glow of early love funny how the eyes are blind
And when the cold reality of differences 'tween you and me set in
It was oh so evident that you and I should never have been
And in the end we went our separate ways found another place to play our games
With all our new exciting friends with all their strange exotic sounding names
Oh, it was good at the beginning when we thought we could be friends
Yeah it was good at the beginning but it was better at the end
Oh it was good at the beginning but it was better at the end, at the end
