John Farnham, Richard Marx, Phil Buckle, and Ross Fraser

I've been watching him
Wearing you down
Somehow you're different
When he's around
I know you feel it, the heart doesn't lie
It's going nowhere, we both know why
And it makes me sad, 'cause you can
Do better than that
I've seen this movie before
I'm not gonna watch anymore

Don't let yourself be treated this way
How can you let yourself be treated this way

I know the pattern
I've seen the signs
Your spirit's been broken
You're hurting inside
There is another side of romance
I can show you, give me a chance
Why keep hanging on, to something
That you know is wrong
You've been in this movie before
Why should you take anymore

Don't let yourself be treated this way
How can you let yourself be treated this way
Don't be afraid of the end
You can start over again
Don't let yourself be treated this way
Save yourself the trouble
Give yourself the chance

Don't be afraid of the end
You can start over again

Don't let yourself be treated this way
How can you let yourself be treated this way

Don't let yourself be treated this way
How can you let yourself be treated this way
