Teardrops
Bobby and Jemima Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If it brings you happiness
Then I wish you
Both the best
It's your happiness
That matters
Most of all
If he ever
Breaks your heart

If the teardrop
Ever starts
I'll be there
Before the next
Teardrop falls

I'll be there
Anytime
You need me
By your side
To dry
Away
Any teardrop that you've cried
And if he ever leaves you blue
Just remember
I love you
I'll be there
Before the next
Teardrop falls

If he brings you happiness
Then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness
That matters
Most of all

But if he ever breaks your heart
If a teardrop ever starts
I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls

I'll be there
Anytime you need me
By your side
To dry
Away
Any teardrop that you've cried
And if he ever leaves you blue
Just remember
I love you
I'll be there
Before the next
Teardrop falls

I'll be there

Before the next
Teardrop falls
