Lyrics
Break It To Me
You been steppin' out
swingin' on some new woman's porch
while I'm sittin' at home
sick and tired of holdin' the torch
you been comin' home
after I'm long-gone off to work
whatever you do
don't treat me like a piece o' dirt
You wanna let me down easy
come on then take my hand
don't deny how much I understand
Break it to me baby
don't pretend there's nothin' to know
let me tell you where you can go
break it to me baby
can't you tell the truth for once
give it to me straight
break it to me baby
You been tellin' lies
so thick they're stuck to your shoes
wherever you been
you're a walkin' set o' clues
so much aftershave
fancy new shirt tucked in so nice
I look at your face
an' I know our love's on ice
You wanna let me down easy
come on then take my hand
don't deny how much I understand
Break it to me baby
don't pretend there's nothin' to know
let me tell you where you can go
break it to me baby
can't you tell the truth for once
give it to me straight
break it to me baby
give it to me, give it to me straight
break it to me baby
