Lyrics
You?re gonna make me cry
You?re gonna make me cry
Oh, baby, don?t make me cry
You?re gonna break my heart, oh yes you are
You?re gonna break my heart
Please, please, please I?m begging you baby
Don?t break my heart
Love can bring happiness
And (you know) love can bring sorrow
Love can be here today
And if don?t watch out it will be gone tomorrow
Oh, baby. Oh, oh baby, don?t break my heart
You?re gonna make me cry (oh yes you are, baby)
You?re gonna make me cry
Oh, oh, please, please, please baby
I?m begging you please, don?t break my heart
And here's what I wanna say this to you right now
Love is something that?s hard to figure out
But love is something
That the whole round world ought to know about
And oh baby, I?m begging ya baby, don?t make me cry
If you insist on doing it here?s what I?m gonna have to do
I?m gonna leave you alone, oh, yes I am
I?m gonna leave you alone
I don?t wanna do it but I have to do it baby
Leave you alone
(Repeat 1st verse)
(ab lib) I wanna see some happiness
And all you do is make me cry
You broke my heart too many times already
I can?t take no more
Don?t break it, no don?t break it
Don?t break my heart baby
I wanna see some happiness
I?m gonna have to let you go now
You?re gonna make me cry
