don't break the heart that loves you so

don't break the heart that loves you, handle it with care
don't break the heart that needs you, darlin', please be fair
why do you flirt and constantly hurt me
why do you treat our love so carelessly

you know i'm jealous of you and yet you seem to try
to go out of your way to be unkind
sweetheart, i'm begging of you don't break this heart that loves you
don't break this heart of mine

spoken
darling, please don't hurt me. please, don't make me cry. i don't know what i'd do
if you'd ever say goodbye. remember i love you so much and love's life's greatest
joy. please don't break my heart like a child breaks a little toy.

sweetheart, i'm begging of you don't break this heart that loves you
don't break this heart of mine

(don't break this hear
