Lyrics

I made my reservation, I'm leaving town tomorrow
I'll find somebody new, and there'll be no more sorrow
That's what I do each time, but I can't follow through
I can't break away, though you make me cry
I can't break away, I can't say goodbye
No, I'll never, never break away from you
No, no
No-no-no, no, no
No-no-no, no, no
No-no-no, no, no
I make a vow to myself, you and I are through
Nothing can change my mind, I'm sorry just won't do
That's what I'll say each time, but I can't follow through
I can't break away, though you make me cry
I can't break away, I can't say goodbye
No, I'll never, never break away from you
No, no
No-no-no, no, no
No-no-no, no, no
No-no-no, no, no
Even though you treat me bad, and
Many cruel words are spoken
You have got a spell on me that
Just can't be broken, no, no
I'll take your picture down, and throw it away
There'll be no baby now for you to call each day
That's what I'll say each time, but I can't follow through
I can't break away, though you make me cry
I can't break away, I can't say goodbye
No, I'll never, never break away from you
No, no
No-no-no, no, no
No-no-no, no, no
No-no-no, no, no
I can't break away, though you make me cry
I can't break away, I can't say goodbye
No, I'll never, never break away from you
No, no
No-no-no, no, no
No-no-no, no, no
No-no-no, no, no
I can't break away, I can't break away
I can't break away, I can't break away
I can't break away, I can't break away
I can't break away, I can't break away
I can't break away, I can't break away
I can't break away, I can't break away
