Lyrics

The Brokenhearted

Well darling, oh, won't you come a little closer? I promise, pretty darling, I didn't know what I was saying And now I'm praying that you won't say it's over Come here, pretty baby, and rest your head upon my shoulder Just one kiss and we started Now don't leave me to the brokenhearted The brokenhearted, the brokenhearted And tell me that you need me Well, now baby, the lonely nights keep growing longer And my love for you just keeps growing stronger Like a wheel of chance so endlessly turning My fate lay in your hands, my heart's forever burning In a sweet fire your kiss started Now don't leave me to the brokenhearted The brokenhearted, the brokenhearted And tell me that you love me Tell me that you want me, girl The cruel mistakes I've made, the hard price that I've paid For the good times and for laughter Girl, I should've known for the indifference that I've shown I'd pay forever after And darling, now all I'm trying to say Is passion and love, they have a way Of slipping into blackness, uncared for of slipping away The deck is cut, the cards turned, the hand is played And all we ever hope for, burns to ashes and drifts away Now don't let our love slip into this darkness Don't leave me to the brokenhearted The brokenhearted, the brokenhearted And tell me that you love me Tell me that you need me Tell me that you love me Tell me that you want me Tell me that you need me Tell me that you want me Tell me that you love me Oh, tell me that you love me Tell me that you love me Tell me that you want me And come on now, daring Say it right now, baby Say it right now, darling Tell me that you love me
