When Love Breaks Down

Lisa Stansfield


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

My love and I
We are boxing clever 
He'll never crowd me out 
Both 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 loves breaks down
the lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves 
When love breaks down
we join the wrecks
Who leave their hearts for easy sex 
When love breaks down
When love breaks down

My love and I
We were high and climbing 
Into the sky of blue
Loud with colours 
of a rainbow
A changing view 
Changing view

When love breoks 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
we join the wrecks
Who leave their hearts for easy sex 
When love breaks down
When love breaks down
