How to Ruin a Romance - Dave Stewart, Vanessa Amorosi

You’ve been lonesome and complaining

Someone gets you a blind date

You’ve been worried about it all night long

How you gonna rate?

But turns out she’s an angel

But you’re too dumb to speak

Well she turns to leave, you can’t believe

You didn’t even kiss her on the cheek

That’s how you ruin a romance

It’s easy but it’s true

That’s how you ruin a romance

And end up dating the blues

Well you made a stack of dollars

You were on a winning streak

You’re throwing toga parties

Acting like a sheikh

Then you’re Italian girlfriend says she’s tired

You tell your driver to take her home

Now they’re married with three children

Own a restaurant back in Rome

That’s how you ruin a romance

It’s easy but it’s true

That’s how you ruin a romance

And end up dating the blues

Well you’re gulping down martinis

She’s slowly sipping wine

Her eyes are sending shivers

Up and down your spine

She asks you to play some music

You feel like a rock 'n' roll star

But thirty minutes later

You’re still tuning your guitar

That’s how you ruin a romance

It’s easy but it’s true

That’s how you ruin a romance

And end up dating the blues

That’s how you ruin a romance

But you already knew

How to ruin a romance

I guess I ruined it with you
