Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
After You Put Back the Pieces (I’ll Still Have a Broken Heart)
[Verse 1]
Yes, you played the part
Of my true lover, but then you broke my heart
Now you'll try in vain
To piece back a dream that no longer remains

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm tired, it's true
Of what I'm going through
It's better if we're apart

[Chorus]
After you put back the pieces
I'll still have a broken heart

[Verse 2]
In playing your game
You broke every promise, and then the heartaches came to us

[Pre-Chorus]
Although you're tellin' me
That you're so sorry
Then you hurt me from the start

[Chorus]
After you put back the pieces
I'll still have a broken heart
Oh, yes I will
[Verse 3]
If my love you miss
Then always remember that you started this
For a heart that is real
If once it is broken, it may never heal

[Pre-Chorus]
For breaking hearts with you
Is nothing new
With you it's just an art, I know

[Chorus]
After you put back the pieces
I'll still have a broken heart
I know for real

After you put back the pieces
And I'll still have a broken heart
I know, I know, I know, I know

After you put back the pieces
I'll still have a broken heart
Ooh, yeah

(After you put back the pieces)
