(G.Kooymans/B.Hay)
Can you tell me what it's all about now
There's a rumor spreading all over town

You'll never guess it or understand it, baby
Start living with a new idea


It's over - close the book
Over - off the hook
It's over - like a war in peace

It's over....

Oh I'm running from the guillotine

Carve my name in the hanging tree
Never thought that I was such a fool
But when it's over, baby

What can you do

It's over - you better believe it

It's over - nothing can change it
It's over - can't you see
It's over....


I was only seventeen and I loved you so
I never loved a girl the way I loved you, girl

I was only seventeen and I loved you so
I never loved a girl the way I loved you, girl


I'm heading for a dead-man's curve
Graveyard's on the next left turn
Never thought that I was such a fool

But when it's over, baby
What can you do


It's over - you'd better believe it
It's over - nothing can change it
It's over - can't you see

It's over....

I was only seventeen and I loved you so

I never loved a girl the way I loved you, girl
I was only seventeen and I loved you so
I never loved a girl the way I loved you, girl

Over...,it's all over now, over, over, now
It's all over, all over, all over.....
