[Verse 1]

Made myself a prisoner

I locked myself away

I can't remember the last time

I saw the light of day

I don't wanna face life

I feel I've been betrayed

I want you to tell me

Where our love went astray


[Pre-Chorus]

So can't you wait one more minute

Why can't you wait one more day?

Let's get it straight

'Cause it's a big mistake

You better think about it


[Chorus]

I don't wanna break it up (Up)

Why do we have to break it up? (Up)

Never ever wanna break it up, oh no

I only wanna make it up tonight (Ooh, ah-ah-ah)


[Verse 2]

You say you've thought about it

But you sound so cold

You make it look like our love

Can be bought or sold

But you won't listen (Ah)

You say it's way too late

That something is missing (Ah)

And now you just can't wait


[Pre-Chorus]

Why can't you wait one more minute?

Why can't you wait? Gimme one more day

Let's get it straight

This is a big mistake

We better think about it


[Chorus]

I don't wanna break it up (Up)

Why do we have to break it up? (Up)

Never ever wanna break it up, oh no (Up)

I only wanna make it up tonight (Ooh)

So don't say break it up (Break it up)

I wanna hear you say we'll make it up (Make it up)

I don't wanna break it up, ooh baby (Ooh-ooh)

Why can't we make it up tonight? (Make it up tonight)

Make it up tonight (Tonight)


[Bridge]

And I ask myself

What's wrong with me?

How could I be so blind?

I know she tried to give me everything

I still couldn't see

Now as I watch our love slip away

I'm beggin' you, beggin' you, please


[Chorus]

Don't break it up (Break it up)

Take a little time and make it up (Make it up)

I don't wanna break it up, oh no (Up, ooh)

I only wanna make it up tonight (Ah-ah-ah)


[Outro]

I don't wanna break it up (Ah-ah-ah)

Baby, let me make it up (Ah-ah-ah)

No, no, no, no (Ah-ah-ah)

I don't wanna break it up, no, no, tonight (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)

Make it up, let me make it up, oh yeah (Ah-ah-ah)

Let me make it up, make it, make it up (Ah-ah-ah)
