I've made my reservation
I'm leaving town tomorrow
I'll find somebody new
And there'll be
No more sorrow
That's what I do each time
But I can't follow through
I can't breakaway
Though you make me cry
I can't breakaway
I can't say goodbye
No, I'll never
Never breakaway
From you
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
I make a vow to myself
You and I are through
Nothing can change my mind
I'm sorry, just won't do
That's what I say each time
But I can't follow through
I can't breakaway
Though you make me cry
I can't breakaway
I can't say goodbye
No I'll never
Never breakaway
From you
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
Even though you treat me bad
And many cruel words are spoken
You have got a spell on me
That just can't be broken
No, no
I take your picture down
And throw it away, yeah
There'll be no baby now
For you to call each day
That's what I say each time
But I can't follow through
I can't breakaway
Though you make me cry
I can't breakaway
I can't say goodbye
No, I'll never
Never breakaway
From you
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
I can't breakaway
Though you make me cry
I can't breakaway
I can't say goodbye
No, I'll never
Never breakaway
From you
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
I can't breakaway
I can't breakaway
I can't breakaway
