Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You know, if you break my heart I'll go

But I'll be back again

'Cause I told you once before goodbye

But I came back again

[PreChorus]

I love you so

I'm the one who wants you

Yes, I'm the one who wants you

Oh-oh-ho, oh-oh-ho

[Chorus]

Oh, you could find better things to do

Than to break my heart again

This time I will try to show that I'm

Not trying to pretend

[PreChorus]

I thought that you would realise

That if I ran away from you

That you would want me too

But I got a big surprise

Oh-oh-ho, oh-oh-ho

[Chorus]

Oh, you could find better things to do

Than to break my heart again

This time I will try to show that I'm

Not trying to pretend

[Verse 2]

I wanna go

But I hate to leave you

You know I hate to leave you

Oh-oh-ho, oh-oh-ho

Oh, you, if you break my heart I'll go

But I'll be back again
