toom, oppa-toom
Why do lovers break each other's heart?
Oh, tell me why do lovers have to drift apart?
When me met the world was right
Now I'm cryin' every night
Why do lovers break each other's heart?
(shoo-dooby-doop, shoo-dooby-dooby-doo-wah)
Why do lovers break each other's heart?
Oh, tell me why can't lovers finish what they start?
A year ago we were one
Now just look at what we've done
Why do lovers break each other's heart?
Tell me, tell me I don't understand
Why we always hurt the ones we love
Tell, me, tell me where's the life we planned?
Where are the dreams that we were dreaming o-o-of?
Why do lovers break each other's heart?
Oh, tell me why do lovers have to drift apart?
When me met the world was right
Now I'm cryin' every night
Why do lovers break each other's heart?
(shoo-dooby-doop, shoo-dooby-doop)
(s*****-dooby-dooby-doo-wah)
<instrumental break>
When me met the world was right
Now I'm cryin' every night
Why do lovers break each other's heart?
(Why do lovers break each other's heart?) oh, tell me why
(Why do lovers break each other's heart?) oh, tell me, tell me why, why, why, why
