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
As 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
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? All is fair
All is fair in love
Yeah well, all is fair
All is fair in love
And she shattered her last china plate and spun off in the car
As 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
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
That he'd gotten all he'd wanted A crowd to watch him bear the pain
he'd been keeping in
So what? All is fair
All is fair in love
Yeah well, all is fair
All is fair in love

Like so many off this album this is quite a bitter some about a failed relationship.
"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"
I'd interpreted this as suicide.
"All is fair in love" is saying that he's getting his own back, even if it is in a terrible way.
