Before You Break My Heart
Bobby V Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just wanna love you, I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you, I just wanna love you

Walking around in circles
Your love's got a grip on me
There's something going on, girl I know
You got me waiting, what's it gonna be?
Girl I've tried to give my all
But you're creeping out here
Why do you got your guard up?
I'm so sick of hearing you crying

Oh, oh, oh don't cry (don't cry)
Oh, oh, oh don't cry
Before you break my heart, tell me
Is there anything I can do different?
Is there anything I can do different?
Is there anything I should have done different?

So long, we gotta elope
Never fight, it's alright
For so long you played along
Acting like our future's bright
No more bailing these days
Such blame when you play with my heart
No more reason to cry
If you don't want I don't want no more

Oh, oh, oh don't cry (don't cry)
Oh, oh, oh don't cry (it's alright)
Before you break my heart, tell me
Is there anything I can do different?
Is there anything I can do different?
Is there anything I should have done different?

When you play my heart, tell me
Is there anything I can do different?
Is there anything I can do different?
Is there anything I should have done different?

I just wanna love you, I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you

Maybe should've been a thunder
Maybe should've understood
Just feel this
You never had feelings for me

Oh, oh, oh don't cry (don't cry)
Oh, oh, oh don't cry (forgive me)
Before you break my heart, tell me
Is there anything I can do different?
Is there anything I can do different?
Is there anything I should have done different?

Before you break my heart, tell me
Is there anything I can do different?
Is there anything I can do different?

Something that I can do
Is there something that I can do?
Just something that I can do for you





I just wanna love you, I just wanna love you
Is there something that I can do before you break my heart?
