My love and I, we work well together
But often we're apart
Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah
Till love breaks down, love breaks down
Ooh my, oh my, have you seen the weather?
The sweet September rain
Rain on me, like no other
Until I drown, until I drown
When love breaks down, the things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down, the lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves
When love breaks down, when love breaks down
My love and I, we're boxing clever
He'll never crowd me out
(He'll never crowd me out)
Both be free as old confetti
And paint the town, paint the town
(And paint the town, paint the town)
When love breaks down, the things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When loves breaks, down the lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves
When love breaks down, we join the wrecks
Who leave their hearts for easy sex
When love breaks down, when love breaks down
Oh, yeah, when love breaks down
Love breaks down, love breaks down
Love breaks down, when love breaks down
My love and I, we were high and climbin'
Into the sky of blue
Loud with colors, of a rainbow
A changing view, changing view
When love breaks down, the things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down, the lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves
When love breaks down, we join the wrecks
Who leave their hearts for easy sex
When love breaks down, when love breaks down
