We started out so young and tender lost in love and sweet surrender
We hardly knew the world was turning in our hearts the fires were burning
Now you want somebody new what am I supposed to do
I never put no one above you don't you know how much I love you
Break his heart and let's begin again
I'm tired of singing the same old song and tired of living my life alone
Late at night beneath the covers I lay awake and dream of no other
You're better off with me tonight what can I do to make it right
Tell him that you've changed your mind turn back the hands of time
Break his heart and let's begin again
The letter you left me took me by complete surprise
You said that you have found someone new
But I don't believe that he'll stay by your side
A little time will prove me right you're better off with me tonight
Break his heart and let's begin again
