Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Oh, honey if I get restless
Baby, you're not that kind

Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off of me
Oh, honey when you knocked on my door
Ooh, I gave you my key

Woo ooh nobody knows it
But when I was down
I was your clown
Woo ooh nobody knows it (nobody knows it)
But right from the start
I gave you my heart, oh oh
I gave you my heart

So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart

Nobody told us
'Cause nobody showed us
Now it's up to us babe
Oh, I think we can make it

So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
Oh, you put the spark to the flame
I got your heart in my sights

Woo ooh nobody knows it
But when I was down
I was your clown
Woo ooh nobody knows it (nobody knows it)
But right from the start
I gave you my heart, oh oh
I gave you my heart

Don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart

But when I was down
I was your clown
An' right from the start
