  • My love and I, we work well together
    But often we're apart
    Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah,
    Till love breaks down, love breaks down

    Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather
    The sweet september rain
    Rain on me like no other
    Until I drown, until I drown

    When love breaks down
    The things you do
    To stop the truth from hurting you

    When love breaks down
    The lies we tell,
    They only serve to fool ourselves,
    When love breaks down
    The things you do
    To stop the truth from hurting you

    When love breaks down
    The things you do
    To stop the truth from hurting you
    When love breaks down,
    Love breaks down

    My love and I, we are boxing clever
    She'll never crowd me out
    Fall be free as old confetti
    And paint the town, paint the town

    When love breaks down
    The things you do
    To stop the truth from hurting you
    When love breaks down

    The lies we tell,
    They only serve to fool ourselves,
    When love breaks down
    The things you do
    To stop the truth from hurting you
    When love breaks down
    You join the wrecks
    Who leave their hearts for easy sex

    When love breaks down
    When love breaks down

  • Rabbi Meyer from Central WisconsinI agree with McAloon. I'd've gone with "Absence makes the heart grow weary..." Nevertheless, this is a wonderful song.
