They say that there's a hole in the atmosphere The things you think will last disappear When you were ready to say I do Somebody lowered the boom on you Now you need a sympathetic ear Tell me about it Tell me about teardrops in the dark Tell me about it Tell me about your broken heart You say you need someone to hold you tight (You) can't stand another lonely night Well come closer and Tell me about it Love isn't always true it hurts sometimes Your tears will tell on you girl, I'm not blind I know what you're goin' through I graduated from that school too If you need a shoulder cry on mine Tell me about it Tell me about teardrops in the dark Tell me about it Tell me about your broken heart You say you need someone to hold you tight (You) can't stand another lonely night Well come closer and Tell me about it You took a lesson in playin' a fool I graduated from that school too If you need a shoulder cry on mine Tell me about it Tell me about teardrops in the dark Tell me about it Tell me about your broken heart You say you need someone to hold you tight (You) can't stand another lonely night Well come closer and Tell me about it
