Lyrics

She came over tonight;
She laid her head on my shoulder.
I knew that somethin' ain't right;
I think I knew we were over.

And then I looked in her eyes
I knew it right from the start
She had something to tell me...
Four little words that'll break your heart:


Chorus :
"We need to talk" (she's gonna' break my heart)
"We need to talk" (she's fallen out of love)
"We need to talk" (I think I knew from the start)
"We need to talk" (there's someone else she's been dreamin' of.)

Bridge :
Four little words over and over...
Four little words and now it's all over....

Chorus :
"We need to talk" (she's gonna' break my heart)
"We need to talk" (she's fallen out of love)
"We need to talk" (I think I knew all along)
"We need to talk" (I ain't the one she's been dreamin' of).
