My love and I, we work well together Often we're apart Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah 'Til love breaks down, 'til love breaks down Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather? That sweet September rain Rain on me like no other Until I drown, until I drown When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down The lies we tell They only serve to fool ourselves When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down, when love breaks down My love and I, we are boxing clever She'll never crowd me out Fall be free as old confetti And paint the town, paint the town When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurtin' you When love breaks down The lies we tell They only serve to fool ourselves When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurtin' you When love breaks down The lies we tell They only serve to fool ourselves When love breaks down You join the rest Who leave their hearts for easy s** When love breaks down When love breaks down
