How Could This Happen To Me

I was voted most likely to succeed

With the future looking so very, very bright, indeed

Somehow I succeeded to fail miserably....

How could this happen? (How could this happen, to me?)

Back in high school, I was the best that I could be

A straight-A student — all the girls were after me

I was even the captain of the football team

How could this happen? (How could this happen, to me?)

Partly the reason, I trusted romance

Confused by the passion, blinded by love

If I only knew what I know today

Might be much different; might be much the same

Can't believe it: they still think it's all my fault

What do they know? I was there, I did my part

What's more important, I did it straight from my heart

How could this happen? (How could this happen, to me?)

Lady Luck took a powder and a-so did my so-called friends

The same ones who said, "Stick it out till the bitter end."

But who needs enemies with friends like them?

How could this happen? (How could this happen, to me?)

Partly the reason, I trusted romance

Confused by the passion, blinded by love

If I only knew what I know today

Hindsight is foresight that happens too late

Stranger than fiction, the human comedy

Just one of the million stories in the naked city

How could they blame me when it's not my fault?

Sing it fellas!

How could this happen to me?

(No it's not my fault!)

How could this happen to me?

(I was there; I did my part!)

How could this happen to me?

(Makes me wonder: how could this happen?)

How could this happen to me?

How could this happen to me?

(I was the best that I could be!)

How could this happen to me?

(And all the girls were after me, yeah! Oh!)

How could this happen to me?

(I can't believe it! How could this happen?)

How could this happen to me?
