5 Versos

They met in a karaoke bar

Jack was singing "Lola" in a long black wig

The TV screen with the lines from the song

Caught the reflection of a girl

He caught her eye and he went wrong

She laughed while he apologized.

So they started talking to each other

Mary's friends listening from beyond

And shaking their heads

She had on half a smile as she looked away from him

He was falling victim to her every whim

The barman sighed, a tear in his eye.

So they kissed that night and she took him home

Though they were strangers he held her so tenderly

But she thought it might be fun to string him along

She knew it wasn't right; she didn't think it was wrong

She'd stop before he was in love with her

She didn't stop to think she might fall in love with him.

Well it went on for a week, a month, a year

Mary somehow forgot to break it off

Now she felt so trapped and she didn't know why

She was so sure that she loved him though it started as a lie

When she realized she broke down and told him

He already knew -- he'd read it in her diary the day before.

It turned out that he was the same as her

Living a lie on automatic pilot

Now they didn't know what to do

They didn't know who they were

Mary tried to smile, Jack slipped his hand into hers

The barman would have been surprised

Eles se conheceram em um karaokê

Jack estava cantando "Lola" com uma peruca preta longa

A tela da TV com as letras da música

Capturou o reflexo de uma garota

Ele a olhou e se perdeu

Ela riu enquanto ele se desculpava.

Então começaram a conversar um com o outro

Os amigos da Mary escutando de longe

E balançando a cabeça

Ela tinha meio sorriso enquanto desviava o olhar dele

Ele estava se tornando refém de cada capricho dela

O barman suspirou, uma lágrima nos olhos.

Então eles se beijaram naquela noite e ela o levou pra casa

Embora fossem estranhos, ele a segurou com tanto carinho

Mas ela achou que seria divertido enrolá-lo

Ela sabia que não era certo; não achava que era errado

Ela pararia antes que ele se apaixonasse por ela

Ela não parou pra pensar que poderia se apaixonar por ele.

Bem, isso durou uma semana, um mês, um ano

Mary de alguma forma esqueceu de terminar

Agora ela se sentia tão presa e não sabia por quê

Ela tinha tanta certeza de que o amava, embora tudo tenha começado como uma mentira

Quando percebeu, desabou e contou a ele

Ele já sabia -- tinha lido no diário dela no dia anterior.

Aconteceu que ele era igual a ela

Vivendo uma mentira no piloto automático

Agora eles não sabiam o que fazer

Não sabiam quem eram

Mary tentou sorrir, Jack entrelaçou a mão na dela

O barman teria ficado surpreso.
