I don't care what they say
I just cried when you went away
"Forget her" is all they say
"You'll find another love some day"
Please, oh please
The only love I want is you

Let me say one more time
Though I know you're no longer mine
I love you, I love you, child
Seein' you with him makes me wild
Please, my love, why did you have to break my heart?

Since that day when you said goodbye to me
I've been away on my own
I don't know what to do
I can't fall out of love with you
But until I do, my friend
I'll say this to you again
Please, my love, why did you have to break my heart?

Since that day when you said goodbye to me
I've been away on my own
Let me say one more time
Though I know you're no longer mine
I love you, I love you, child
Seein' you with him makes me wild
Please, my love, why did you have to break my heart?
