[Verse 1]
He won't tell her what is going on
He won't tell her what is going on
Well try'o try o, lie'o lie o
He won't tell her what is going on

[Chorus]
You may think that he's a demolition expert
When he's finished with your self-esteem
It may be true we all need knocking down a few
Come find shelter or your shelter with me, with me

[Interlude]
Break away

[Verse 2]
She don't like to disturb the peace
Became attached to the weak, at least
She's got diamonds to show for it
That tree of gold for it
She don't like to disturb the peace

[Chorus]
You may think that he's a master of disguise
You lost your dignity you compromised
It may be true we all need knocking down a few
Come find shelter oh your shelter with me, with me
[Bridge]
Break away oh, break away oh
Break away oh, break away oh
Break away oh, break away oh
Break away oh, break away oh
Break away oh, break away oh
Break away oh, break away oh

[Chorus]
You, you may think that he's a demolition expert
When he's finished with your self-esteem
It may be true we all need knocking down a few
Come find shelter or your shelter with me, with me

[Outro]
Break away oh, break away
