lyrics

You've got my heart sitting in your lap
it's purring just like a kitty cat
I think of you, and I think I'm smitten
this could be the greatest love story ever written
I've got your eyes in my mind
and they're staring straight through
they're beautiful and perfect darlin
just like you

Baby, please don't break my heart

the wanting is a prison cell
fighting this feeling is a rodeo from hell
oh well gee, I just, I think you're swell
yes you really have gotten me under your spell
you're gonna leave me a likely widow
sitting staring forever out my window as you
sail away on a sea of love
as lonliness descends on me like death from above

but it's better to have love and have lost than to have never loved at all
better to have paid the cost than to have never have fallen the fall

Baby please don't break my heart
