Another night with open eyes
  Too late to sleep, too soon to rise
  You're short of breath, is it a heart attack?
  Hot and feverish you face the fact
    You're in love, and it feels like shame
  Because she's gone and made a fool of you in public again
  You're in love, and it feels like pain
  Because you know there's too much truth in everything she claims
    So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her
  If she wants you to?
  Ask yourself: Can you even deliver
  What she demands of you?
    You drift into the strangest dreams
  Of youthful follies and changing teams
  Admit you're wrong, oh, no, not yet
  Then you wake up and remember that you can't forget
    She's made you some kind of laughing stock
  Because you dance to disco, and you don't like rock
  She'd make fun of you, and even in bed
  Said she was gonna go and get herself a real man instead
    So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her
  If she begs you to?
  Ask yourself: Can you even deliver
  What she demands of you?
  Or do you want revenge?
  But that's childish, so childish!
  (But that's childish, so childish!)
    Remember when you were more easily led
  Behind the cricket pavilion and the bicycle shed
  Trembling as your dreams came true
  You looked right into those blue eyes and knew
    It was love, and now you can't pretend
  You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend
  It's bad enough, she knows how you feel
  But she's not prepared to share you with the memory
    So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her
  If she begs you to?
  Ask yourself: Can you even deliver
  What she demands of you?
  Ask yourself now: Can you forgive her
  If she begs you to?
  And ask yourself: Can you even deliver
  What she demands of you?
  Or do you want revenge?
  But that's childish, so childish! You could do anything [x8]
