VERSE 1 I pressed my cheek to the cool tabletop And wished the dance playing down my spine would stop The moon was hanging there in the window blue CHORUS And once in a while I wish that it was true Once in a while a little bit of broken heart could do VERSE 2 I took a long drink tasting of tin And swallowed every conversation again A distant car horn was trying to break through CHORUS: And once in a while I wish that it was true Once in a while I wish that it was true
Once in a while a little bit of broken heart could do VERSE 3: But like the rain it's gonna soak you through Past the skin and the bone To the flight and the flown Soaking everything you own CHORUS: And once in a while I wish that it was true Once in a while I wish that it was you Once in a while a little bit of broken heart A little bit of broken heart A little bit of broken heart could do
