The Way We Make A Broken Heart
Just a one more kiss she'll have to miss
This night with you
Now you're guilty of this secret love
As I am too
You'll get used to telling lies
And feeling sorry when she cries
Now that the strings are attached
She'll catch on
We've done our part
Oh, this is the way we make a broken heart
Lesson number one we've just begun
To hurt her so
And with lesson two she'll long for you
When lights are low
And we get to lesson three
When she gets down on her knees
And begs you to stop at the door
Just before
She comes apart
This is the way we make a broken heart
BRIDGE:
Now we laid a trail of tears
For her to follow
And we've thought of every line
That she might swallow
And with lesson four there'll be no more
For her to bear
And on some dark night we'll dim the lights
On this affair
Then she'll find somebody new
And he'll likely hurt her too
'Cause there must be millions just like you and me
Practiced in the art
This is the way we make a broken heart
This is the way we make a broken heart
Love In Flames
One in one and one makes three
Baby, you know that it ain't no big mystery
Just from where you're at
You never had these feelings to burn
You took my love and baby you turned
CHORUS:
Is it all in my mind
Or is it a cruel game
This love in flame
I was up so high
Where eagles fly
I just never looked down
Oh, but you were down there
With the wind in your hair
And your feet on the ground
We might have had the stars in the sky
You never had the courage to try
CHORUS
Love in flames
Love in flames
Is it the same
As passion flooding in the name of love
Or is it fear of pain
When love comes crashing down from above
Tonight I lay me down to sleep
On your side of the bed
I pray so hard for somebody to keep
Keep you out of my head
But it's no use the sheets take your form
Into the dawn the ashes still warm
CHORUS
Love in flames
Don't Know Much About Love
Baby can you teach me - how to
Baby can you reach me, I'm calling out for you
Underneath your window tonight
I know I ain't no Romeo, so help me make it right
If I can get this message through to your heart
It would be more than I could understand
No beginner ever skipped the start
And I want to learn all than I possibly can
Because I don't know much
I don't know much, much about love
Out of touch
I don't know much, much about love
Baby when you kiss me will I see
That little wish list you've been keeping for me
I'm rushing like a fool, babe, 'cause I know
If they taught you this in school
You must have made the honour roll
If I can get this message through to your heart
It would be more than I can understand
No beginner ever skipped the start
And I want to learn more than I possibly can
Because I don't know much
I don't know much, much about love
Out of touch
I don't know much, much about love
I graduated, baby, I can read
But the pages of the heart come difficult for me
I speak my mind girl, everyday
But the language of love
Well, I don't know how to say
Because I don't know much
I don't know much, much about love
Out of touch
I don't know much, much about love
Because I don't know much
I don't know much, much about love
Out of touch
I don't know much, much about love
