Lyrics
Don’t go breaking my heart
I couldn’t if I tried
Honey if I get restless
Baby you’re not that kind
Don’t go breaking my heart
You take the weight off of me
Honey when you knock on my door
Ooh, I gave you my key
Woo hoo
Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Woo hoo
Nobody knows it
(Nobody knows… it)
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Oh-oh I give you my heart
So don’t go breaking my heart
I won’t go breaking your heart
Don’t go breaking my heart
Nobody told us
‘Cause nobody showed us
Now it’s up to us babe
Whoa I think we can make it
So don’t misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
Oh, you put the spark to the flame
I got your heart in my sight
Woo hoo
Nobody knows it
But when I was down
I was your clown
Woo hoo
Nobody knows it
(Nobody knows… it)
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Oh-oh
I give you my heart
Don’t go breaking my heart
I won’t go breaking your heart
Don’t go breaking my heart
Woo hoo
Nobody knows it
(Woo hoo) When I was down
(Woo hoo) I was your clown
(Woo hoo) Right from the start
(Woo hoo) I gave you my heart
Oh-oh I give you my heart
Don’t go breaking my heart
I won’t go breaking your heart
(Don’t go breaking my)
(Don’t go breaking my)
Don’t go breaking my heart
I won’t (aaah) go breaking your heart
Don’t go breaking my heart
(Don’t go breaking my)
I won’t (aaah) go breaking your heart
Don’t go breaking my heart
(Don’t go breaking my)
I won’t (aaah) go breaking your heart
Don’t go breaking my heart
(Don’t go breaking my)
I won’t (aaah) go breaking your heart
Don’t go breaking my heart
(Don’t go breaking my)
I won’t (aaah) go breaking your heart
Don’t go breaking my heart
(Don’t go breaking my)
I won’t (aaah) go breaking your heart
Don’t go breaking my heart
(Don’t go breaking my)
I won’t (aaah) go breaking your heart
Don’t go breaking my heart
