[Verse 1]
You make me weep, and wanna die
Just when you said we'd try
Loving, touching, squeezing each other
When I'm alone all by myself
You're out with someone else
Loving, touching, squeezing each other

[Chorus 1]
You're tearing me apart
Every, every day
You're tearing me apart
Oh, what can I say?
You're tearing me apart

[Verse 2]
It won't be long, yes, 'til you're alone
When your lover, oh, he hasn't come home
'Cause he's loving, ooh, he's touching
He's squeezing another

[Chorus 2]
He's tearing you apart
Ooh, every, every day
He's tearing you apart
Oh, girl, what can you say?
Cause he's loving, touching another

[Outro]
Now it's your turn, girl, to cry
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na

Journey

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
