You know if you break my heart I’ll go,
But I’ll be back again,
‘Cos I told you once before goodbye,
But I came back again.

I love you so
I’m the one who wants you,
Yes I’m the one who wants you, oh ho, oh ho,

You could find better things to do
Than to break my heart again,
This time I will try to show
That I’m not trying to pretend.

I thought that you would realize
That if I run away from you
That you would want me too,
But I’ve got a big surprise, oh ho, oh ho,

You could find better things to do
Than to break my heart again,
This time I will try to show that
I’m not trying to pretend.

I wanna go
But I hate to leave you,
You know I hate to leave you, oh ho, oh ho,

You, if you break my heart I’ll go,
But I’ll be back again.
