[Intro: New Edition & Announcer]
N.E. heartbreak
The evening's main event, I bring to you
The New Edition
N.E. heartbreak
Ah, ah
She got it going, got it going on, going on
She got it going, got it get-get going on
She got it going, got it going on, going on
She got it going, got it get-get
N.E. heartbreak
(Peep this)

[Verse 1: Ronnie DeVoe]
In store signing autographs at the mall
Next in line was a fly girl standing tall
Signed my name and said, 'Give me a call, baby, ya know?'
(In-store)
The girl screamed and fainted panic on the floor
The bodyguard pulled us out the back door
I never saw her anymore
It was an in-store heartbreak

[Verse 2: Ralph Tresvant]
Live at five interview for Channel 2
I saw a cutie, thought she was on the TV crew
She said after the show (I'll be waiting for you) Cool
After the show she got in the car and what a scene
Her dad was the driver of the limousine
I didn't know she was only thirteen
It was a young girl heartbreak
[Pre-Chorus 1: Ralph Tresvant]
People think it don't get lonely
When we're far away from home
One minute, twenty-thousand people
But then they go home, we're alone
It's off to another city
Where everybody knows my name
But when I meet that perfect honey
Is it me she wants or is it my fame

[Chorus 1: New Edition]
Girlies and groupies and parties all night
Is the life that can lead you, lead you to a N.E. heartbreak
(N.E. heartbreak)
From city to city, our friends and our fans
They're the ones who can keep us from having
N.E. heartbreak (N.E. heartbreak)

[Verse 3: Ricky Bell]
Center stage N.E. was groovin'
The beat was hard and the girlies were movin'
There she was third row center coolin'
She was cold
Last note of the last song
House lights up they came on
When I looked she was gone
It was a third row heartbreak
[Pre-Chorus 2: Ralph Tresvant]
People think our life is easy
And they think we've got it made
But we're living under pressure
Just to be on top
And to give it the best that we can give you
And to never let you down
We'll keep strivin' for perfection
N.E. heartbreak is coming to your town

[Refrain: New Edition]
Girlies and groupies (Believe that! On the strength, boy)
Girlies and groupies
(Yo, peep this!)
She got it going, got it going on, going on
She got it going, got it, get-get going on
She got it going, got it going on, going on
(N.E. heartbreak) She was cold
She got it going, got it going on, going on
She got it going, got it, get-get, going on
She got it going, got it going on, going on
(N.E. heartbreak) Ya know?

[Verse 4: Michael Bivins]
Caught up, my girlie said, 'Meet me on the tour'
I got a suite cold chillin' on the 50th floor
And I'll leave your ticket at the door
And baby, don't forget the pumps
The pumps
The pumps
The pumps
[Outro: New Edition & Johnny Gill]
Break, break, break, break
You better beware
Oh, everybody, everybody, everybody sing it for me, yeah
Beware of N.E. heartbreak
Oh, N.E. heartbreak
Spreading fast and there's no cure
Said there's no cure
No need to run from heartache
It's gonna get ya, get ya for sure
Everybody, everybody sing it, yeah, oh
Beware of N.E. heartbreak
Everybody, everybody sing it, yeah
Spreading fast and there's no cure
And sing it just a little bit louder
No need to run from heartache
Oh, it's gonna get ya
It's gonna get ya, get ya for sure
You better beware, you better beware, oh
Beware of N.E. heartbreak
Oh, everybody clap your hands
Spreading fast and there's no cure
Clap your hands and sing it a little louder
No need to run from heartache
It's gonna get ya, get ya for sure
