Lyrics
First day in school for the new kid in town
He's all by himself on the playground, all alone
The boys are playing ball
He tries to join in
He says I'm a good shortstop
But they just laugh at him
So he goes home
He says mama I hate it here
Then he runs to his room
Then cries a million tears
Little hearts break too
They feel pain just the same as grownups do
Just in smaller pieces
Little hearts break too
Then there's little Lisa
From the wrong side of the tracks
The girls make fun of her clothes
When they talk behind her back
They don't see her cry in a ragged old coat
And holes in her shoes
She tries to blend in with the crowd
That's impossible to do
There's nowhere to hide
She's too young to understand
And it hurts her mom and dad
Who do the best that they can
Little hearts break too
They feel pain just the same as grownups do
Just in smaller pieces
Little hearts break too
Yeah yeah
There's a little boy who sees his mama cry
As his daddy says goodbye
Little hearts break too
Whoa oh oh
They feel pain just the same as grownups do
Just in smaller pieces
Yeah just in smaller pieces
Little hearts break too
