(Oh oh oh) You don't remember me, but I remember you 'Twas not so long ago, you broke my heart in two Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart Caused by you, you If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hand of fate Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy When you find the one you love She'll fill your heart with joy If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hand of fate Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you You (oh oh oh) You (oh oh oh), you (oh oh oh) You (oh oh oh) you (oh oh oh)
