 No one, no one gets the prize
 No one, no one
 No one gets the prize
 
 We were best of friends
 It all began
 He came in to town and changed the plan
 I knew she felt, the same as me
 Which one of us would it be
 
 Just in fun, fight begun
 Before long a web of hate was spun
 She pretended same as me
 Oh, but friends again we'd never be
 
 No one, no one gets the prize
 She told him lies, and I told him lies
 No one, no one gets the prize
 
 She schemed and dreamed and told him dirt
 That I was wrong for him
 I told him all the boys she'd hurt and I would number them
 He was the ray of light that made our hearts live
 But either one of us knew really how to give
 So we scandalized and criticized
 And then we learned how to despise
 
 No one, no one gets the prize
 She told him lies and I lied, I lied yeah
 No one, no one gets the prize
 No, no, no
 
 Yeah, yeah
 Back off
 Tried to steal him, tried to steal him
 Tried to steal him
 Runnin' behind my back
 Tried to steal him
 Tried to show him where it was at
 
 Watch it now
 No, no I won't take second place
 No, no tell him to his face
 
 We were friends for so, so, so long
 Messed around, now he's gone gone gone gone
 
 No one, no one gets the prize
 No, no
 No one, no one gets the prize
 
 I wasn't alive, a love that's satisfied
 No one, no one gets the prize
 It wasn't fair, the love I couldn't share
 No one, no one gets the prize
 No, no
 
 No one, no one gets the prize
 No one, no one gets the prize
 She lied, I lied, we lied
 No one, no one
