[Verse 1]
Who needs a heart that is broken in two?
Who needs a dream that's been shattered?
Who cries for more when the joy turns to pain?
You just pretend it never mattered

[Chorus]
(Tell me, who needs a love like yours?)
That is bringing me down?
(And tell me, who sees a love like ours?)
That went wrong from the start?
You have broken my heart
We're just oceans apart
But still it doesn't matter

[Verse 2]
Why does it hurt when you know who's to blame?
Why were the words softly spoken?
Why waste the time when we've been there before?
The ties that bind are almost broken

[Chorus]
(Tell me, who needs a love like yours?)
That is bringing me down?
(And tell me, who sees a love like ours?)
That went wrong from the start?
You have broken my heart
We're still oceans apart
But still it doesn't matter

[Outro]
We're just oceans apart
But still it doesn't matter
Who cries for more when the joy turns to pain?
You just pretend it never mattered
You just pretend it never mattered
Who needs a heart that's been shattered?
Who needs a dream that's been broken?
And who needs the words softly spoken?

Ringo Starr

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
