[Verse 1]
In a modern culture, my friend you must be careful
They've a million ways to kill you
In this dangerous world there’s an art to growing old
Taking chances, magic happens
[Chorus]
One mistake's all it takes and your life has come undone
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard but you're tearing her apart
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
[Verse 2]
I'm afraid that there's much to be afraid of
Here today and gone tomorrow
Don't end up in the gutter just like the one before
You're just the same, such a loser
[Chorus]
One mistake's all it takes and your life has come undone
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard but you're tearing her apart
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
[Bridge]
You've got to let her go because you're breaking up
Girl, girl
[Chorus]
One mistake's all it takes and your life has come undone
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard but you're tearing her apart
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
Breaking up the girl
Breaking up the girl
[Outro]
Girl, ah
In a modern culture, my friend you must be careful
They've a million ways to kill you
In this dangerous world there’s an art to growing old
Taking chances, magic happens
[Chorus]
One mistake's all it takes and your life has come undone
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard but you're tearing her apart
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
[Verse 2]
I'm afraid that there's much to be afraid of
Here today and gone tomorrow
Don't end up in the gutter just like the one before
You're just the same, such a loser
[Chorus]
One mistake's all it takes and your life has come undone
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard but you're tearing her apart
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
[Bridge]
You've got to let her go because you're breaking up
Girl, girl
[Chorus]
One mistake's all it takes and your life has come undone
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard but you're tearing her apart
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
Breaking up the girl
Breaking up the girl
[Outro]
