Don't go breaking my heart
The Mr. T Experience Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off me
Honey when you knock on my door
I gave you my key
Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart

So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart

And nobody told us
'Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us babe
I think we can make it

So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life




You put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights

Overall Meaning

The Mr. T Experience's song Don't Go Breaking My Heart is a love song that expresses the singer's feelings toward their significant other. The first two lines of the song, "Don't go breaking my heart, You take the weight off me" suggests that the singer is afraid of getting their heart broken by their significant other. They have given their key to their significant other implying an unquestionable level of trust in their relationship. The singer feels like a clown when they were down indicating they might have given more than they received in their relationship. But right from the start, they gave their heart which the significant other now has.


The next lines, "And nobody told us, 'Cause nobody showed us, And now it's up to us babe, I think we can make it" can be interpreted to express a level of uncertainty in the relationship. It seems like the couple has not received enough help or advice to make their relationship work, and now it's just up to the two of them. They firmly believe that they can make it work because they are there for each other. The last lines, "So don't misunderstand me, You put the light in my life, You put the sparks to the flame, I've got your heart in my sights" emphasize the importance of their significant other. The singer genuinely appreciates their significant other and their efforts in bringing light into their life. They aim to keep their relationship intact and continue to strive for the best.

MTX and the Muffs, two incredibly under-rated bands and two incredibly under-rated musicians. Kim and Dr. Frank I've seen you both perform many times and you're the greatest, for the love of toast please keep making music.

Punk Rick's Videos

It is Kim Shattuck from the Muffs. This song isn't on my version of "...And The Women Who Love Them", I have it on the "And I Will Be With You" 7".

@Punk Rick's Videos I know it's 7 years later I'm responding it's on a And the Women... special rereleased expanded version with more extra tracks from singles and comps I believe. You probably already figured it out but others probably don't know
