"The Brokenhearted"
Well, darling, oh, won't you come a little closer
I promise pretty darling, I didn't know what I was sayin'
And now I pray that you won't say it's over
Come here, pretty baby, and rest your head on my shoulder
With just one kiss and we started
Now, don't leave me to the brokenhearted
The brokenhearted
The brokenhearted
And tell me that you need me
Well, now, baby, the lonely nights keep growing longer
And my love for you just keeps growing stronger
Like a wheel of chance so endlessly turning
My fate lay in your hands, my heart's forever burning
And a sweet fire your kiss started
Now, don't leave me to the brokenhearted
The brokenhearted
The brokenhearted
And tell me that you love me
Tell me that you want me, girl
The cruel mistakes I've made
The hard price that I paid
For good times and for laughter
Girl, I should've known
The indifference that I've shown
I'd pay forever after
And darling, now all I'm trying to say is passion
And love, they have a way of slipping into blackness
And cared for a certain way
The deck is cut, the card is turning
The hand is played
And all we ever hope for
Turns to ashes and drifts away
Now all that I love
Slipped into this darkness
Don't leave me to the brokenhearted
The brokenhearted
The brokenhearted
And tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Tell that you've loved me
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you love
Yeah tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love
Tell me that you want me
And come on, now, daring
Say it right, now, baby
Oh, tell me that ... [fades out]
