And so it goes until the day you die

He quietly sang along to "Love Stinks" as if he truly believed in every word, and my excitement in the possibilities of where things were headed turned into feelings of impending doom.

LOVE STINKS

J. Geils Band

You love her, but she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win
And so it goes until the day you die

This thing they call love
It's gonna make you cry
I've had the blues, the reds and the pinks
One thing for sure

(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah

Two by two and side by side
Love's gonna find you, yes it is
You just can't hide
You'll hear it call
Your heart will fall
Then love will fly
It's gonna soar
I don't care for any casanova thing
All I can say is love stinks

(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah

I've been through diamonds
I've been through minks
I've been through it all
Love stinks
