Boy, boy meets girl
And you know the rest

Boy loses his girl
In their love's first test

Is this supposed to be a happy ending now?
Is this the way it always goes?

Girl throws in her heart
Like a losing hand

She uses the boys
'Cause she thinks she'll never find her man

Is this supposed to be a happy ending now?
Is this the way it always goes?
Well, I think I want my money back
Because that's not all I know

Love is not lost
It's not a lost cause
Oh, no, love is not lost
It's not a lost cause

Love is not lost
It's not a lost cause
Love is not lost
It's not a lost cause

I, I meet you
And you cut my heart

You shake my ideals
Until they fall apart

Have I lost it if I hope for something more
Than feeling fatalistic pain?
And if true love never did exist
How could we know its name?

Love is not lost
It's not a lost cause
Oh, no, love is not lost
It's not a lost cause

Love is not lost
It's not a lost cause
Love is not lost
It's not a lost cause

Love is not lost
Love is not lost
Love is not lost
It's not a lost cause

Don't give up now
Love is not lost
Don't give up now
