Broken-hearted meelody Once you were our song of love Now you just keep taunting me With the memory of (ba da da) His tender love, oh Broken-hearted melody Must you keep reminding me Of the lips I long to kiss And the love I miss since he went away Night and day they play That broken-hearted melody That he used to sing to me When our love was young and bright As he held me tight Suddenly I found I was out of bound Broken-hearted melody Once you were a song of love Now you just keep taunting me With the memory of (ba da da) His tender love, oh Broken-hearted melody Won't you bring him back to me Sing to him until he hears For when he returns no more will he be A broken-hearted melody Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oo-oo, ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
