Baby Don't You Break My Heart Slow


I liked the way you wanted me
Every night for so long baby
I liked the way you needed me
Every time things got rocky
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken
Do you say
Do you say what you mean
I want our love to last forever

But I'd rather you be mean
Than love & lie
I'd rather hear the truth
And have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow
At least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

I liked the way you'd hold me
Every night for so long baby
I liked the way you'd say my name
In the middle of the night
While you were sleeping
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken
Do you mean
Do you mean what you say
When you say our love could last forever

But I'd rather you be mean
Than love & lie
I'd rather hear the truth
And have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow
At least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

You'd run around and lead me on forever
While I waited home, still thinkin' we're together
I wanted our love to last forever

I was believing in you
I'd rather you be mean
Than love & lie
I'd rather hear the truth
And have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow
At least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

No, don't love & lie
I'd rather hear the truth
And have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow
At least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow
Baby don't you break my heart slow...
