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

Oh Ho
Nobody knows it (Nobody knows it)
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Oh baby
You know I gave you my heart

So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
No don't go breakin' my
Don't go breakin' my
Don't go breakin' my heart

And nobody told us
'Cause nobody showed us
C'mon baby it's up to us now
Oh I think we can make it

Oh Ho
