Baby, Don't Break My Heart Slow

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

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

Chorus:
But I’d rather you be mean,
Than love and lie
I’d rather hear the truth,
Than 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 the way you’d hold me
Every night for so long baby
And like the way you’d say my name
In the middle of the night
While you were sleeping

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

Chorus:
But I’d rather you be mean,
Than love and lie
I’d rather hear the truth,
Than 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 that we’re together
I wanted our love to last forever
I was believing in you

Chorus:
But I’d rather you be mean,
Than love and lie
I’d rather hear the truth,
Than 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
