Lyrics:

Mama Cass Elliot –
'When It Doesn’t Work Out' lyrics

Oh, I tried to stay away from you
Isn’t that what you wanted me to do?
I would call the friends we knew to see how you were
Then I found out about her

Yes, I heard about that stormy love affair
When she didn’t need you, you were there
She laughed about your loyalty
You took it to your heart
Then like me, you fell apart
Isn’t love terrible when it doesn’t work out?

Oh, I’m sad to see your troubled face
Knowing that no one can take her place
And you’re still in love with her
Well, I’m in love with you
So I guess there’s nothing we can do
Isn’t love terrible when it doesn’t work out?

And you’re still in love with her
Well, I’m in love with you
So I guess there’s nothing we can do
