Baby, Don't You Break My Heart Slow

I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long, baby
And I like the way you needed me
Every time things got rocky

I was believing in you
Was I mistaken?
Do you say—, do you say what you mean?
I want our love to last forever

But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby, don't you break my heart slow
No

I like the way you'd hold me
Every night for so long, baby
And I like the way you'd say my name
In the middle of the night while you were sleeping

I was believing in you
Was I mistaken?
Do you mean—, do you mean what you say
When you say our love could last forever?

But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby, don't you break my heart slow
No

You would run around and lead me on forever
Oh, while I wait at home still thinking we're together
I wanted our love to last forever, ooh
Oh, yeah

I was believing in you

I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby, don't you break my heart slow
(No, no)

I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby, don't you break my heart slow
Baby, don't you break my heart slow
