He shouted out his last word 
and he stumbled through the yard 
and she shattered her last china plate 
and spun off in the car 
when he lunged onto the hood 
she stopped to tell him she'd been wrong 
he was thrown head over heels 
into the traffic coming on 
but then 
all is fair in love 
did you get my other letters 
sometimes i think i oughta call 
cause you know i often 
wonder if you open them at all 
every couple nights or so 
you know you pop into my dreams 
i just can't get rid of you 
like you got rid of me 
ohh but i send my best 
cause god knows you've seen my worst 
but then all is fair in love 
all this breathing in never breathing out 
i guess she made her way 
through the mob too late to hear him say 
that he'd gotten all he'd wanted 
a crowd to watch him bear the pain 
he'd been keeping in 
so what- 
all is fair in love
