Love is never equal
I learned that early at home
Someone always loves more than the other

And ends will always come
So you might as well have beginnings
Love is never equal after all

Love is never equal
The love between people
Someone always gets the shorter straw

Love can be so tender
But you always must remember
Love is never equal after all

Last year, I had someone
Who worshiped at my feet
Who gave me everything I wanted
But it did not interest me

And now I'm standing naked
Like one of those bad dreams
Where everyone has clothes on except for me

Love is never equal
The love between two people
Someone always gets kicked to the curb

Oh, love can be so tender
But you always must remember
Love is never equal after all

Oh, love is never equal
The love between two people
Someone always gets kicked to the curb

Someone's always left out freezing
Battered down and bleeding
Love is never equal after all

Someone's always cheated
Hoodwinked and mistreated
Love is never equal after all
