Lyrics

Don't Break My Heart

You shoot me down in flames, you put me down a lot I'm giving you my heart, go on take it Please be careful not to break it Just remember it's the only one I've got, it's the only one I've got Don't break my heart Don't break my heart Oh, don't break my heart You make me laugh a lot and buy me silly things And I'd rather be with you than anyone else But if you make me mad, but if you make me mad You'll wish that you had not, you'll wish that you had not Don't break my heart Don't break my heart Don't break my heart Don't break my heart Where are the roses and whispered sighs? Where are the compliments and dreaming eyes? It doesn't matter you see, I know you love me And real basic love never dies Oh, don't break my heart Don't break my heart Don't break my heart Don't break my heart Where are the roses and whispered sighs? Where are the compliments and dreaming eyes? It doesn't matter you see, I know you love me And real basic love never dies Don't break my heart Don't break my heart Don't break my heart Don't break my heart Don't break my heart Don't break my heart Don't break my heart Don't break my heart
