Lyrics

I Won't Be Torn Apart

I guess it's common knowledge

There's quite a lot of mileage

In someone else's marriage

Oh baby, I won't be torn apart

You can chuck me out now

You can lock me out now

You can break my stuff but

Baby, I won't be torn apart

From a dream I've woken

And it just can't be spoken

What remains unbroken

Oh baby, I won’t be torn apart
