ONE FOR SORROW, two for joy
These are the rules that you must employ
Mother told me time to settle down
Just find a man and a house in a cozy little time
It's ONE FOR SORROW and tow for joy
You don't need a friend to get your happy end

Father told me just don't you be so smart
Just find a boy that you like who try not to break your heart
It's ONE FOR SORROW, you can't go wrong
Taking words of advice from noble soul

ONE FOR SORROW, two for joy
These are the rules that you must employ
It's ONE FOR SORROW you'll only fail
If you measure up your life against a fairytale

The happy end, the after dream
Is a lie that they sell you in the magazines
Mother told me life will be complete
With a man and a car and a house on the street
ONE FOR SORROW and two for joy
These are the rules that you must employ
Father told me that there ain't no pay
If the needle on the record comes together again
It's ONE FOR SORROW you'll only fail
If you measure up your life against a fairytale

ONE FOR SORROW, two for joy
These are the rules that you must employ
It's ONE FOR SORROW, you can't go wrong
Taking words of advice from noble soul

ONE FOR SORROW, two for joy
These are the rules that you must employ
It's ONE FOR SORROW you'll only fail
If you measure up your life against a fairytale
It's one for sorrow, it's one for sorrow
It's one for sorrow, it's one for sorrow

ONE FOR SORROW, two for joy
These are the rules that you must employ
It's ONE FOR SORROW you'll only fail
If you measure up your life against a fairytale
ONE FOR SORROW, two for joy
These are the rules that you must employ
It's ONE FOR SORROW, you can't go wrong
Taking words of advice from noble soul
