Failing In Love

Tell me a sad, sad story about a man Who sought love more than anything, Though he dreamed of a perfect plan It failed from the very beginning. Who sought love more than anything Which is an extremely sad, sad thing, It failed from the very beginning Not the slightest happiness did it bring. Which is an extremely sad, sad thing For how does one learn what love is? Not the slightest happiness did it bring He found no true love he could call his. For how does one learn what love is? In his early years he knew infatuation He found no true love he could call his, Though he sought it in every situation. In his early years he knew infatuation True love seemed to be quite preclusive, Though he sought it in every situation In its several ways he found it elusive. True love seemed to be quite preclusive Though he dreamed of a perfect plan In its several ways he found it elusive, Tell me a sad, sad story about a man.
