[Verse 1]
Now I know, I've seen that look
On your face before
When you realized all the memories
Walked right out the door
Now it's eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
No more hiding behind the truth
I'm gonna get exactly what's coming to me

[Chorus]
You're gonna break my heart again
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But you're gonna live to regret it

[Verse 2]
Now you say I took advantage of you
When you never knew the score
But, you should know, we've been this way
One thousand times before
You told me once, you told me twice
It's down to me, girl, to pay the price
But, this time's the last time, that's for sure

[Chorus]
You're gonna break my heart again
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But you're gonna live to regret it, yes, you are

[Verse 3]
You talk of how our love was meant to be
And all the time you sacrificed for me
So how could I forget it, why should I regret it
'Cause when you told me you loved me
I knew it was lies
So no more crying, no more goodbyes
'Cause this time's the last time, that's for sure
Break my heart

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Now you say, there is no one in the world
Can get the better of you
And you should know, you never made it easy
With the pain you put me through
I told you once, I told you twice
It's down to you, girl, to pay the price
'Cause this time's the last time, that's for sure

[Chorus]
You're gonna break my heart again
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But you're gonna live to regret it
You're gonna break my heart again
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But you're gonna live to regret it

[Outro]
I just can't take anymore
No more, no more, no more

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
