The Same Old Song and Dance - Frank Sinatra, Sammy Cahn

It’s just the same old song and dance, the same old song and dance

Turns out you never cared at all, turns out you bound me like a ball

Whoever thought I’d fall for the same old song and dance

It’s just the same old smooth routine, the same old moonlit scene

Turns out you only used those eyes simply to tell me all those lies

I really went king-size for the same old song and dance

Me with a built-in radar, me with a cushion hard

Winding up number one on the all-time loser’s card

I should forget you but I won’t, should hate you but I don’t

It didn’t turn out like I planned but if you smile and wave your hand

I’d go out and hire a band, and wait for one more chance

At the same old song and dance

(instrumental)

It didn’t turn out just like I planned

But if you smile and wave your lily white hand

I’d go out and hire a band, then wait for one more chance

At the same old, same old song and dance
