History never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep Don't say the words you might regret I lost before, you know I can't forget There was a girl I used to know She dealt my love a savage blow I was so young, too blind to see But anyway that's history I say history never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep Don't say the words you might regret I lost before, you know I can't forget You say I always play the fool I can't go on if that's the rule Better to jump than hesitate I need a change and I can't wait History never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep And there's a light shining in the dark Leading me on towards a change of heart, ah History never repeats History never repeats Deep in the night it's all so clear I lie awake with great ideas Lurking about in no-man's land I think at last I understand History never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep And there's a light shining in the dark Leading me on towards a change of heart, ah Never repeats Never repeats Never repeats Hey hey Hey Never repeats
