don't break my heart slow

Vonda Shepard

I like the way you wanted me,
Every night for so long baby,
And I like the way you needed me,
Everytime things got rocky.

I was believing in you,
Was I mistaken, do you say...do you say what you mean,
I want our love to last forever.

But I'd rather you be mean,
Than love and lie,
And I'd rather hear the truth,
And have to say goodbye,
I'd rather take a blow,
At least then I would know,
But baby, don't you break my heart slow.

I like the way you hold me,
Every night, for so long baby,
I like the way you say my name,
In the middle of the night,
While you are sleeping.

I was believing in you,
Was I mistaken, do you mean...do you mean what you say,
When you say our love can last forever.

But I'd rather you be mean,
Than love and lie,
I'd rather hear the truth,
Than have to say goodbye,
I'd rather take a blow,
At least then I would know,
But baby, don't you break my heart slow.

You would run around,
And lead me on forever,
While I'm wating home,
Still thinking we're together,
I wanted our love to last forever.

I was believing in you....

I'd rather you be mean,
Than love and lie,
I'd rather hear the truth,
Than have to say goodbye,
I'd rather take a blow,
At least then I would know,
But baby, don't you break my heart slow.
