Boy...boy meets girl, and you know the rest,
Boy loses his girl in their love's first test,
Is this supposed to be a happy ending now'
Is this the way it always goes'

Girl throws in her heart, like a losing hand,
She uses the boys 'cause she thinks she'll never find her man,
Is this supposed to be a happy ending now'
Is this the way it always goes'
Well, I think I want my money back, because that's not all I know.

Love is not lost; it's not a lost cause,
Oh, love is not lost; it's not a lost cause,
Oh, love is not lost; it's not a lost cause,
Oh, love is not lost; it's not a lost cause.

I meet you and you cut my heart,
Oh, you shake my ideals until they fall apart,
Oh, have I lost it if I hope for something more than feeling fatalistic pain'
And if true love never did exist; how could we know it's name'

Love is not lost; it's not a lost cause,
Oh, love is not lost; it's not a lost cause,
Oh, love is not lost; it's not a lost cause,
Oh, love is not lost; it's not a lost cause, oh.

Love is not lost, (love is not lost)
Love is not lost, (love is not lost)
Love is not lost, (love is not lost, love is not lost)
Love is not lost.

Don't give up now, oh, love is not lost,
Don't give up now, oh, love is not lost.
