(You know what I mean?)

(Breakdown)

(Breakdown)

(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

(You know what I mean?)

(You know what I mean?)

(You know what I mean?)

(You know what I mean?)

(You know what...?)

(You know what...?)

(You know what I mean?)

(Breakdown)

(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
