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
