free my soul from this pain,
Of love. I have written so many
Letters begging you to come
Back to my arms and I phone you everyday, I hope u change your mind
But your response shutters all my
hopes, so hard to forget no matter how I try
You break my heart Irene. (chorus)
You break my soul Irene
Wow wow darling I'm dying for your love
