Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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, nobody knows it (nobody knows it)
When I was down
I was your clown
Ooh, 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 (don't go breaking my)
I won't go breaking your heart (don't go breaking my)
(Don't go breaking my)
Don't go breaking my heart
Nobody told us
'Cause nobody showed us
Now it's up to us, baby
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
Ooh, nobody knows it (nobody knows it)
When I was down
I was your clown
Ooh, nobody knows it (nobody knows it)
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Oh-oh
I gave you my heart
So don't go breaking my heart (don't go breaking my)
I won't go breaking your heart (don't go breaking my)
(Don't go breaking my)
Don't go breaking my heart
Ooh, nobody knows it (nobody knows it)
When I was down
I was your clown
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Oh-oh
I gave you my heart
So don't go breaking my heart (don't go breaking my)
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
(Don't go breaking my)
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart, breaking my, breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart, breaking my, breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart, breaking my, breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart, don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart, don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart, don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart, don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart, don't go breaking my heart
