Cry in the backstage a little bit while I'm singing this song. the reason

This song is so sad because this story happened to me just a little

While ago (not true, but true) (audience laughs) and it was, it was

A thing where I met this this beautiful girl, right? was she a

Beautiful girl as she was, she was nice and ... and I gave her my whole

Heart, every every bit, and she gave it back to me a month later all

Beat up, so bad and so terrible looking that

I sold my heart to the junkman !

Now I can never fall in love again...."

(starts song)

"...song, this is a very sad song, this next

Song we're gonna do.

The song is so sad that sometimes I have to

Leave the stage and cry in the backstage a

Little bit while I'm singing this song.

The reason this song is so sad because this

Story happened to me just a little while ago

(not true, but true) (audience laughs)

And it was, it was a thing where I met this

This beautiful girl, right? was she a

Beautiful girl as she was, she was nice and ...

And I gave her my whole heart, every every bit,

And she gave it back to me a month later all

Beat up, so bad and

So terrible looking that

I sold my heart to the junkman !

Now I can never fall in love again...."

Well I gave my heart to you, open, so open and trusting

And you gave it back to me, it was broken up and busting

(sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman

(sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman

I can never fall in love again

Oh and I know you took my heart, you thought that you

Could use it

When you gave it back like a toy

You broken and bruised

(sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman

(I sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman

I can never fall in love again

Now, it was a movie sad scene, I played my part

Ooh I wanted the happy ending, but all I got was

A broken heart

(all he got was a broken heart)

(I sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman(I sold my heart) I sold my

Heart to the junkman

I can never fall in love again

Now I swear it was a movie setting, baby I played my part

And all I wanted was a happy ending,

But now I'm left with a broken heart

(now he's left with a broken heart)

(I sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman

(I sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman

I can never fall in love again

I gave my heart to you, so open and trusting

And you gave it back to me, it was broken up and busting

(so I sold) I sold my heart to the junkman

(yes I sold) I sold my heart to the junkman

I can never fall in love again

Yes I did sold my heart to the junkman

Yes I did, yes I did

Sold my heart to the junkman

Now I can never fall in love again

Since I sold my heart to the junkman.
