How Sad

A boy loved a girl but the girl said No
She ran away with a handsome Gigolo
He loved her but they were through
So he fed himself to the lions at the zoo
Romeo and Juliet, a wierdo couple that I met
They had a little drink with a strange effect
Some mistakes you can't correct
Ain't it sad about the boys and the girls
Ain't it sad about the whole damn world
Love is a thing you can't control
When you're young or when you're old
And I don't play sympathetic parts
So you can keep your broken heart
