CYBAH
Syd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Need love, write this down
Everything I have to say
Before we make our way, sugar
I'm gonna need assurance, babe

If I ever make you mine
Need to know if you're the type
Do me wrong or do me right
Guess you never really know
Gotta wait, see how it goes
See about it down the road
It's a blessing when you find
Find a partner for the ride
Don't make me regret tonight
Got a question 'fore we go
One more thing I gotta know
Take your time, baby

Could you break a heart? Ohh
Could you break a heart? Ohh, mmh
Could you break a heart? Ooh-whoa, a heart
Could you break a heart
If I asked you, if you had to? (Yeah)

Promises break, baby
Promise me you'll always keep my heart in a safe place
Promise me your everything, no matter what they say
Shining when you with me like a diamond, wanna set it in stone
Make a bed, let me lay, let me plant your garden (yeah)
If I gave in today

Could you break a heart? Ohh
Could you break a heart? Ohh, mmh
Could you break a heart? Ooh-whoa, a heart
Could you break a heart
If I asked you, if you had to? (Yeah)

Look me in my eyes (in my eyes)
Let me down real nice
If so, how long will it take?
And if no, wait another day
Big dreams on my mind
Don't leave and blow my high
Let's roll, nothing make or break us, baby
You know, which way I drive you crazy, babe

If I ever make you mine
Need to know if you're the type
Do me wrong or do me right
Guess you never really know
Gotta wait, see how it goes
See about it down the road
It's a blessing when you find
Find a partner for the ride
Don't make me regret tonight
Got a question 'fore we go
One more thing I gotta know
Take your time, baby

Could you break a heart? Ohh, yeah
Could you break a heart? Ohh-oh, yeah
Could you break a heart? Ooh-whoa, yeah




Could you break a heart
If I asked you, if you had to? (Yeah)
