The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All over town they're talking about me
The whole world knows you're happy without me
You've broken my heart,
So what do I care?
I'm thru with love, no more will I need it
The word itself, I'll never repeat it
A sign on my back I will wear,
"This is my last love affair"
I gave my heart to you, the one that I trusted
You brought it back to me all broken and busted
So I sold my heart to the junkman
And I'll never fall in love again
You took my heart because you thought you could use it
Just like a little toy you battered and bruised it
So I sold my heart to the junkman
And I'll never fall in love again
Like a melodrama, in a simple manner
Love played the leading part
We had planned a happy ending
But I'm left with a broken heart I'll throw away my pride and say we'll be friends, dear
Tear drops I cannot hide for this is the end, dear I've sold my heart to the junkman
And I'll never fall in love again
I gave my heart to you, the one that I trusted
You brought it back to me all broken and busted
So I sold my heart to the junkman
And I'll never fall in love again
You took my heart because you thought you could use it
Just like a little toy you battered and bruised it,
So I sold my heart to the junkman
And I'll never fall in love again
Like a melodrama, in a simple manner
Love played the leading part
We had planned a happy ending
But I'm left with a broken heart I'll throw away my pride and say we'll be friends, dear
Tear drops I cannot hide for this is the end, dear I've sold my heart to the junkman
