You're tellin' everybody just exactly how it's gonna be
You're gonna make me love you then you're gonna make the fool of me
But I think you oughta know you're just one love too late
My heart's too broke to break
I've got a little secret if you play the game of hurt and run
Somebody just before already played the willin's part and won
If you're bout to break my heart you'll make a big mistake
My heart's too broke to break
You've got it in your head to break my heart
But you might as well give up before you start
I still remember how he treated me and you're not addin' to that misery
You're a goin' go-getter and I know you're gonna hurt your pride
Cause you ordered boiled chicken but you're gonna get your chicken fried
And I know this bitter news is hard for you to take but my heart's too broke to break
[ piano ]
You've got it in your head...
My heart's too broke to break
