first you take a heart
then you break a heart
but before you do,
you make him fall for you
oh you shouldn't do that
(no you shouldn't do that) x3
you see me walk that floor
right outta my shoes
somebody help me please
tell me what to do
first you take a heart
then you break a heart
but before you do,
you make him fall for you
oh you shouldn't do that
(no you shouldn't do that) x3
send an SOS
my hearts in distress
somebody help me please
somebody take my place
for my sweet love, sweet love
first you take a heart
then you break a heart
but before you do,
you make it fall for you
oh you shouldn't do that
(no you shouldn't do that) x3
send an SOS
my hearts in distress
somebody help me please
somebody take my place
yea somebody, anybody
take my place x2
"have you ever been in love?
im speakin of true love, the only love
ive been in love, ive broken hearts in my day
lord you know my hearts been broken too
you know who you are x2
everyone has rythym
everyone has a beat
short, tall, black or white, we can all keep a beat
if you have a heart, then you know you have a beat
sweet lord, you gave us that heart x2"
i broke a heart
tore it apart
whatcha got there is a broken heart
a broken heart x2
whatcha got there is a broken heart
a broken heart (a broken heart)
lord a broken heart
"if you do something you love
cause we're doin something we love
everyday, everynight"
(faintly) break a heart, break a heart, yea yea break a heart
break a heart, take a heart x2
