Lyric

Well, I have lived a lot and done my part of running ’round
And never did I think I’d let a sweet love get me down
But now I see how wrong I was, you’re part of every plan
Perhaps I’ll pay but come what may, my heart’s at your command

Oh, this aching, breaking heart of mine is crazy over you
And I’m afraid to let you know I love you like I do
For if you knew how much I care, I know what you would do
You’d drop me like the others and go find somebody new

Last night I saw you, darling, in the arms of someone new
And I know that you don’t love him, you just want to make me blue
I guess you think that hurting me will make me love you more
But someday from you, darling, this old heart will lock its door

Oh, this aching, breaking heart of mine is crazy over you
And I’m afraid to let you know I love you like I do
For if you knew how much I care, I know what you would do
You’d drop me like the others and go find somebody new
