(You know what I mean?)
(Breakdown)
(Breakdown)
In the beginning, your love was true
And I gave to you
My inner emotions
Yo, I was a slave to you
If time can heal all wounds
Then I feel one
The path of the broken heart is what we'll run
You treat me fine, so you say
If I walk away, I'm justified
'Cause I cried each and every day
We used to talk
Hold hands for a long walk
Stretch on the beach
For tans on the boardwalk
Call me up late at night for a small kiss
The movies, the mall
It ain't easy being dissed
You love me
But time can change in a big way
The deck is strong but the hull, it'll give way
(Our love is breaking down)
You used to give the best to me, come next to me
Take some for self and give all the rest to me
(Our love is breaking down)
But that's dwindled, I sit by the window
Hope for the rain to stop and get rekindled
(Our love is breaking down)
Love, to us, at first reinforced it
But now when I call, you sound like you lost it
(Our love is breaking down)
If this is true, then I say this to you
Tell me what to do, do
Our love is breaking down
Oh, yeah
Our love affair is crumbling down
Our love is breaking down
Oh, yeah
Our true love is finally coming to its end
I get to the point sometimes when I think back
You don't really love me
Nah, I shouldn't think that
Friends, they rif and say that you'll diss me
Weeks go by
And you don't even miss me
So if I tell you what I feel
You gotta tell me if it's real
You're breaking down my heart
And tearing me apart
And I appeal for you to stop
And notice me and get very close to me
You used to be my one and only
Now you're a ghost to me
Although my love will never stop
I think we're headed for a drop
You used to take me out a lot
Buy me flowers in a pot
Twenty-five forget-me-nots
Going to the malt shop
Sharing everything we got
Tell me why you changed the plot
(Our love is breaking down)
You don't even come
Or put a coin in the slot
Like a fish that is baiting
I'm tired of waiting
(Our love is breaking down)
You said you would meet me at six
Now it's eight and I'm tired of crying
Hurt intensifying
(Our love is breaking down)
The romance is shying
I'm trying and sighing and dying
(Our love is breaking down)
(Yeah)
Our love is breaking down
Oh, yeah
Our love affair is crumbling down
Our love is breaking down
Oh, yeah
Our true love is finally coming to its end
Our love is breaking down
Oh, yeah
Our love affair is crumbling down
Our love is breaking down
Oh, yeah
Our true love is finally coming to its end

(Our love is breaking down)
You used to be so sweet to me
(Our love is breaking down)
We used to be so happy
(Our love is breaking down)
A better love could not be found
(Our love is breaking down)
But now our love is breaking down
The love I found
You put me down, you lost me
You cost me a whole bunch of time
Now you boss me around
It's rainy, it's sunny
My eyeballs are runny
I'm just like your money
You break me
And, honey, you come back to score
Like a ship with a shore
And therefore I can't take it no more
Together
Tougher than leather
Through any kind of weather
(Breaking down)
And I never thought that it would sever
(Breaking down)
Or come to this, I try to miss
(Breaking down)
But I don't see you enough
Or let alone get a kiss
(Breaking down)
I'd like to grace the place you ace
Hang out or embrace
(Our love is breaking down)
So I could suck your face and get a taste
Sometimes I state 'em
And often hate 'em
But our love has come to this
An ultimatum
(Breaking down)
I'm not your superwoman just assuming
That you will come home and caress me
(Our love is breaking down)
I'm human, sweetheart
I'm tender
Up and surrender
I don't wanna go out like this
(Our love is breaking down)
But I'm the best in this gender
My love is forsaken
My heartbeat is shaken
I'm not gonna make it
(Our love, our love)
And, no, I can't fake it
(Our love, our love, our love)
So love me or leave me
But don't disbelieve me
Accept me, reject me
But don't disrespect me
(Is breaking down)
So get it together
So we can exist and reminisce bliss, bliss
(Oh, oh)
Our love is breaking down
Oh, yeah
Our love affair is crumbling down
Our love is breaking down
Oh, yeah
Our true love is finally coming to its end
