Fair (w/ Strings) Songtext
von Ben Folds Five

Well, he shouted out his last word and he stumbled through the yard
And she shattered her last china plate and spun off in the car
When he lunged onto the hood, she stopped to tell him she′d been wrong
He was thrown head-over-heels into the traffic coming on

But then, all is fair, all is fair in love

Did you get my other letters? Sometimes, I think I oughta call
Cause you know, I often wonder if you open them at all
Every couple nights or so, you know you pop into my dreams
I just can't get rid of you like you got rid of me
Oh, but I send my best ′cause God knows you've seen my worst

Yeah well, all is fair, all is fair in love


All this breathing in, never breathing out
All this breathing in, never breathing out
All this breathing in, never breathing out

Well, I guess she made her way through the mob too late to hear him say
That he'd gotten all he′d wanted
A crowd to watch him bear the pain he′d been keeping in
(So what?)
So what?

All is fair, all is fair in love
Yeah well, all is fair, all is fair in love

Am I right?
Am I right?
Not only am I right
I'm lonely and I′m right
Yeah!
