Lyrics
Break it to me gently, baby,
Please don't go.
Break it to me gently, baby,
Ever so slow.
Wake me if it's over,
Has my dream turned to dust?
Break it to me gently, baby,
O, so gently,
Break it to me gently,
If you must.
You were my one and only from the start,
I'm just not ready for you to break my heart.
What will I do if you're not around,
And the tender love we share just can't be found?
Break it to me gently, baby,
Please don't go.
Break it to me gently, baby,
Ever so slow.
Wake me if it's over,
Has my dream turned to dust?
Break it to me gently, baby,
O, so gently,
Break it to me gently,
If you must.
Say it's not true, how did we come to this?
Babe, I need reassurance, babe I need your kiss.
Break it to me gently, baby,
Please don't go.
Break it to me gently, baby,
Ever so slow.
Wake me if it's over,
Has my dream turned to dust?
Break it to me gently, baby,
O, so gently,
Break it to me gently,
If you must.
