As the world keeps on turning
She needs to stand still
She's given her everything
It's making her ill
So tired of loving
Someone she hates
To leave now or never
It's getting so late
(She just can't wait to get away)

But who in the world would care for
The girl with no regrets
Whose party days are over
All she needs
Is to breathe
Just a little time to breathe

She slips on her raincoat
And heads for a storm
Been driven to hell and back
But weathered it all
(He tried this before)

She keeps her resistance
With vitamin C
Then takes off that wedding ring
That spells misery
(D.I.V.O.R.C.E.)
But who in the world would care for
The girl with no regrets
Whose party days are over
All she needs
Is to breathe
Just a little time to breathe

(Just a little time to breathe)

She knows that if she breaks him
Then maybe then she'll make him
The kind of fool who falls for
The girl with no regrets
Whose party days are over
All she needs
Is to breathe
Just a little time to breathe

(Just a little time to breathe)
