heroes and ladies Open a story book Turn to the end Almost always the hero and his lady Live happily ever after again
Go to a movie and if you stay to the end almost always the hero and his lady live happily ever after again
CHORUS: But we all can't be heroes and ladies And the good guy can't always win 'Cuz life's not a book and love's not a movie And we don't always stay to the end.
Story books are make believe Movies aren't real friends Playing those parts for each other Did we miss what might have been?
My heart says you're my dream man
I feel like your silver queen Please don't tell me the ending Let's just play the next scene
CHORUS:
Now our movie is over The lights are on again Now this hero and his lady Have faded away with the end
'Cuz we all can't be heroes and ladies And the good guy can't always win 'Cuz life's not a book and love's not a movie... We all can't be heroes and ladies And the good guy can't always win 'Cuz life's not a book and love's not a movie And we don't always stay to the end. You didn't stay to the end. To the end.
