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
