How To Ruin A Romance Lyrics

You've been lonesome and complaining
Someone gets you a blind date
You've been worried about it all night long
How you gonna rate?

But turns out she's an angel
But you're too dumb to speak
Well she turns to leave, you can't believe
You didn't even kiss her on the cheek

That's how you ruin a romance
It's easy but it's true
That's how you ruin a romance
And end up dating the blues

Well you made a stack of dollars
You were on a winning streak
You're throwing toga parties
Acting like a sheikh

Then you're Italian girlfriend says she's tired
You tell your driver to take her home
Now they're married with three children
Own a restaurant back in Rome

That's how you ruin a romance
It's easy but it's true
That's how you ruin a romance
And end up dating the blues
Well you're gulping down martinis
She's slowly sipping wine
Her eyes are sending shivers
Up and down your spine

She asks you to play some music
You feel like a rock 'n' roll star
But thirty minutes later
You're still tuning your guitar

That's how you ruin a romance
It's easy but it's true
That's how you ruin a romance
And end up dating the blues

That's how you ruin a romance
But you already knew
How to ruin a romance
I guess I ruined it with you
