Baby, Don't You Break My Heart Slow

~ Vonda Shepard ~

I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you needed me
Every time things got rocky

I was believing in you
Was I mistaken do you say,
Do you say what you mean?
I want our love to last forever

But I'd rather you be mean
Than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth
And have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow
At least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

I like they way you hold me
Every night for so long, baby
I like the way you say my name
In the middle of the night
While you were sleeping

I was believin' in you
Was I mistaken do you mean.
Do you mean what you say?
When you say our love could last forever

But I'd rather you be mean
Than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth
And have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow
At least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

You would run around
And lead me on forever
While I wait at home
Still thinking were together
I wanted our love to last forever

I was believin' in you

I'd rather you be mean (you mean)
Than love and lie (than lie)
I'd rather hear the truth (hear the truth)
And have to say goodbye (say goodbye)
I'd rather take a blow (oh woh)
At least then I would know ( I would know)
But baby don't you break my heart slow

Than love and lie (don't lie)
I'd rather hear the truth (want to hear the truth)
And have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow
At least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow
