Baby, when we break up from a quarrel or fight
I can't wait to have you back and hold you oh-so tight
Tell me why (tell me why), I need to know (I wanna know)
Tell me why (tell me why) is it so (I need to know)

That the best part of breakin' up is when we're making up
Best part of breakin' up is when we're making up
But after breakin' up, be sure you're making up with me
Be sure you're making up with me
Be sure you're making up with me

Every time I leave, I get those teardrops in my eyes
But they seem to go away when you apologize
Tell me why (tell me why), I need to know (I wanna to know)
Tell me why (tell me why) is it so (I need to know)

That the best part of breakin' up is when we're making up
Best part of breakin' up is when we're making up
But after breakin' up, be sure you're making up with me

Come on, baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Don't say maybe
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Please don't break up with me

The best part of breakin' up is when you're making up with me

Baby, I'll be lonely 'til you're back where you should be
'Cause baby, I belong to you and you belong to me
Tell me why (tell me why), I need to know (I wanna know)
Tell me why (tell me why) is it so, is it so

That the best part of breakin' up is when we're making up
The best part of breakin' up is when we're making up
But after breakin' up, be sure you're making up with me
Be sure you're making up with me
Be sure you're making up with me

The best part of breakin' up is when we're making up
The best part of breakin' up is when we're making up
The best part of breakin' up is when you're making up with me
Is when you're making up with me
Is when you're making up with me
