open up your eyes, see me for what I am
cast in iron, I won't break and I won't bend
take this to your heart and into your head now
the old wives' tale is true, I'll repeat it
all is fair in love and war
that's how the famous saying goes.
if I told you we were out to sea in a bottomless boat
you'd try anything to save us
you'd try anything to keep us afloat
and if we were living in a house afire
I don't believe that you could rush out and escape it
and not rescue me
take this to your heart and into your head now
the old wives' tale is true, I'll repeat it
all is fair in love and war
that's how the famous saying goes
listen, I think they were talking to you
