(Don't break the heart that loves you) Don't break the heart that loves you Handle it with care Don't break the heart that needs you Darling, please be fair Why do you flirt, and constantly hurt me? Why do you treat our love so carelessly? You know I'm jealous of you And yet you seem to try To go out of your way to be unkind Sweetheart, I'm begging of you Don't break this heart that loves you Don't break this heart of mine Darling, please don't hurt me Please, don't make me cry I don't know what I'd do if you'd ever say goodbye Remember, I love you so much And love is life's greatest joy Please don't break my heart like a child breaks a little toy Sweetheart, I'm begging of you Don't break this heart that loves you Don't break this heart of mine (don't break this heart)
