Maybe you meet her at an airport, maybe you meet her at a bar
Maybe you meet her at a red light, when she bumps into your car
When she gives you her phone number, and says, “Why don't you call me soon?�
You're just a month or two away from an old familiar tune:

Short-term romance, long-term pain
A brand new melody with a tired old refrain
Short-term romance, long-term pain
What heats up like a fever, can all go up in flames

You thought you made the right connection, she'd never do you any harm
By the way she touched your fingers, when you woke up in her arms
Ah, but looks can be deceiving, if your timing is all wrong
'Cause if you catch her on the rebound, you'll sing an old familiar song:

Short-term romance, long-term pain

A brand new melody with a tired old refrain
Short-term romance, long-term pain
First you're walking on a railroad, then you're flattened by a train

When she tells you that it's over, it's the usual cliches
“I've given everything I have to give, it's best we go our separate ways�
Feel like you're in a movie, and as the camera fades to black
The credits start to rolling, guess what you hear on the soundtrack:

Short-term romance, long-term pain
A brand new melody with a tired old refrain
Short-term romance, long-term pain
At least you got a little love in, before it all went down the drain

Romance … pain … melody … with a tired old refrain
God I hate this melody, such a tired old refrain
