Don't break my heart, don't do it babe
Don't break my heart, please don't do it babe
Don't you break my heart
'Cause I sacrifice to make you happy
Get nothin' for myself
Now you wanna leave me
For the love of someone else
I believe, baby, you'd better keep on keepin' on
Girl, I try to do my best
Girl, I try to do my best, don't do it babe
Don't break my heart, oh don't do it baby
Don't break my heart
My biggest mistake was lovin' you too much
And lettin' you know
'Cause now you've got me where you want me
And you're gonna let me go
My heart was made glad when you strolled, you see
Heartaches and misery you've been causin' me
Girl, I try to do my best
Girl, I try to do my best
Don't you do it, don't break my heart
Go down to the river and there I'll be
I'm gonna jump in, baby, if you don't see by me
Open up your eyes; can't you see I love you?
Open up your heart; can't you see I need you?
I'm no good without you, can't go on without you
Life's no good without you, what'm I gonna do without you?
Baby don't do it, don't you break my heart
Don't you do it, baby, don't you break my heart
What'm I gonna do without you?
Got to go on, baby
Baby don't you do it
The Pirates' song "Don't Munchen It" is a plea from the singer to his lover not to break his heart by leaving him for someone else. He tells her that he has sacrificed everything to make her happy and at the end of the day, he has nothing left for himself. The singer confesses that his biggest mistake was loving her too much and making it too obvious, which has now given her the upper hand in the relationship. He begs her not to break his heart and not to do it, even though he knows that his pride has already been damaged whether he was right or wrong.
The song expresses the pain of a man who loves a woman so much that he can't bear the thought of losing her. He feels helpless and vulnerable as he watches her slowly slip away from him. He tries to convince her that he is no good without her, and that he cannot go on without her. The lyrics are emotional and heartfelt, highlighting the desperation and anguish of the singer's situation.

My heart always rejoiced when you came around, you know
Heartaches and misery you've been causin' me
But you have been causing me nothing but heartbreak and sorrow
Go down to the river and there I'll be
If you go to the river, you'll find me there waiting for you
I'm gonna jump in, baby, if you don't see by me
If you don't come to find me, dear, I'll jump into the river
Open up your eyes; can't you see I love you?
Please look at me and realize that I still love you
Open up your heart; can't you see I need you?
If only you could open up your heart and understand how much I need you
I'm no good without you, can't go on without you
I am absolutely nothing without you, I cannot continue without you
Life's no good without you, what'm I gonna do without you?
My life is nothing without you, I don't know what I'll do without you
Baby don't do it, don't you break my heart
In the name of all that is holy, don't break my heart, my love
Got to go on, baby
Regardless, I must continue living
Baby don't you do it
I beg of you, my love, don't break my heart

@SuperSeriouSam
They were billed has the Pirates in 1977. Johnny Kidd had been dead more than ten years, but his band knew what the punks wanted when they performed at St Albans civic centre. And Mick certainly knew how to deliver.
