Flying Lotus had this to say about the track's production: That black balloons beat is dedicated to Madlib and Egon. When I was in college I heard quas”come on feet” it relit my love for sampling and eventually changed my world. Love to you legends. Read more on Last.fm.

[Verse 1]
I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
But I was never told about the sorrows

[Chorus]
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

[Verse 2]
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow
But no one said a word about the sorrow

[Chorus]
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
And how can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

[Bridge]
La da da da da da, la la
La da da da da da

[Outro]
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again
