Lyrics:

When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

How you ever gonna keep her now

You can't cry if you don't know how

When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

All the joy is gone from her face

Welcome back to the human race

How long can the flame

Of love remain

When you curse and fight

And never see like

Or hear like spoken

When the spell is broken

(Can't cry if you don't know how)

(Can't cry if you don't know how)

When the spell is broken

(Can't cry if you don't know how)

Oh when the spell is broken

All your magic and your ways and schemes

All your lies come and tear at your dreams

When the spell is broken

(Can't cry if you don't know how)

When the spell is broken

Now you're handing her that same old line

It's just straws in the wind this time

When love has died,

There's none starry-eyed

No kiss, no tears,

No farewell souvenirs

Not even a token, when the spell is broken

Don't swear your heart

From the very start

Love letters you wrote

Are pushed back down you throat

And leave you choking, when the spell is broken

(When the spell, When the spell, When the spell is broken)

When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

(When the spell, When the spell, When the spell is broken)

When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken
