Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I remember you 't was not so long ago
You broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you, you, you, you, you
When you find the one you love, he'll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
No, no no no now, no, no no
You, you

This was also one of many Songs by Little Anthony & The Imperials. Others were Going Out Of My Head, and Hurts So Bad that was later covered by Linda Rondstadt and Luther Vandross. Eve Arden would later guest star on Falcon Crest and Lorenzo Lamas and Ana Alicia would kick the door open for the next generation of Latin Actors on Soaps.
