[Verse 1]
In a modern culture
My friend you must be careful
They've a million
Ways to kill you
In this dangerous world
There’s an art to growing old
Taking chances
Magic happens

[Chorus]
One mistake's all it takes
And your life has come undone
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard
But you're tearing her apart
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl

[Verse 2]
I am afraid
That there's much to be afraid of
Here today and
Gone tomorrow
Don't end up in the gutter
Just like the one before
You're just the same
Such a loser
[Chorus]
One mistake's all it takes
And your life has come undone
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard
But you're tearing her apart
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl

[Bridge]
You've got to let her go because you're breaking up
The girl
The girl

[Chorus]
One mistake's all it takes
And your life has come undone
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard
But you're tearing her apart
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
Breaking up the girl
Breaking up the girl

[Outro]
Girl, ah
