And then there were eight

[idiotchampion]

I found a girlie, loved 'er true
I said "I'll give my soul to you!"
she shook her head because she knew,
I was ten, she was thirty-two

(chorus)
Line up your broken hearts boy,
count each attempted mate,
see cats they have just nine short lives,
and love no more than eight

And if that number is your number then your number's up,
you can't win now, so take a bow, go home enough's enough

The next girl that I loved so dear,
her voice was music to my ear,
but even I was sad to hear,
she'd rather not have me so near

(chorus)
Line up your broken hearts boy,
count each attempted mate,
see cats they have just nine short lives,
and love no more than eight

And if that number is your number then your number's up,
you can't win now, so take a bow, go home enough's enough

I still thought things they could be grand,
so what if they aren't quite as planned?
The next five that I tried to land,
already held another's hand

(chorus)
Line up your broken hearts boy,
count each attempted mate,
see cats they have just nine short lives,
and love no more than eight

And if that number is your number then your number's up,
you can't win now, so take a bow, go home enough's enough

So with this final heart of mine,
I'll put my life out on the line,
if you would be so kind to dine,
with me, maybe I'll be, just fine
