Song Lyrics

What've you got to say for yourself now, baby, now that I am leaving you,
What have you got to lose?
The truth you tried to keep from me,
Well, it nearly drove me crazy,
And I have grown weary from sleepless nights of you.

Is that a broken heart in the corner of your eye,
Something to remind you?
You made this love a teardrop waiting to fall.
There are those who can't love right. I just can't love wrong.
When you are lonely in the night,
how I hope you will recall you made this love a teardrop waiting to fall.

No, I will not forgive you betraying trust between us,
Though I will always care for you.
I have loved you half my life, and when I give my heart again,
I know that I'll remember love is but a fragile flame and trust just fuels the fire.

When I think of all the years your love has taken from me,
I can't believe I'm leaving you.
You made this love a teardrop waiting to fall.
There are those who can't love right.
I just can't love wrong.

When you are lonely in the night,
How I hope you will recall you made this love a teardrop waiting to fall.
You made this love a teardrop waiting to fall.
There are those who can't love right. I just can't love wrong.
When you are lonely in the night,
How I hope you will recall you made this love a teardrop waiting to fall.
