I’ll be
Dreaming of you
In Honolulu
Swinging from a bar stool
Into the pool
Vodka on ice
Is paradise
Now that I’ve deduced
The star of your cries

Everybody says I am a blue one
Fallen from a greater height
Everybody stares at the new one
Though you know I can’t stand the sight

Don’t let him break your heart
Don’t let him break your heart
Don’t let him break your heart
Don’t let him break your heart, your heart

(listen girls there’s nothing that can’t be fixed
with a pair of brown eyes and a pot of glue)

I’ll be dancing with you
In a dirty saloon
I’ll give you a twirl
Right out of this world
Tell me you’re glad
Don’t beckon me back
Listen to the record
As it skips and spins

The alley cats they scream for you
I’m singing with the prostitutes
We spent our youth in a toll booth
Paying back all the orphaned orphans

Don’t let him break your heart
Don’t let him break your heart
Don’t let him break your heart
Don’t let him break your heart, your heart

And as the anvil drops
On another day
I couldn’t ask you to come
I wouldn’t ask you to stay
This hammer’s got no handle
Don’t let him break your heart, your heart

(arrivederci Roma)

I’ve been so down
Since I was seventeen
Pushed my hair back and
Wore a pair of bright blue jeans
I took you to see satellites
And threw you to the sharks at night
Decide decide decide
I can’t decide decide

You were like a butcher’s knife
The slaughterhouse will do just fine
Abide abide abide
I can’t abide
Why would I?

Don’t let him break your heart
Don’t let him break your heart
Don’t let him break your heart
Don’t let him break your heart
Don’t let him break your heart
Don’t let him break your heart
Don’t let him break your heart
I’m trying, I’m trying
But I don’t know where to start
