you're gonna break my heart tonight

the cab is outside

you've finished your beer

you're saying some sweet lines

that i wanna hear

but it don't take no einstein to see that it's clear

you're gonna break my heart tonight

you're gonna break my heart tonight

and girl that's alright

it's black and it's white

and if it ain't too much to ask

could you break it quite fast?

oh i'm right on the edge

seeing your clothes on the bed

oh i'll do what i can

to take it like a man

the old taxi driver

looks down to his feet

the audience sit there in silence and

hold on to their seats

for here comes the punchline

so short and so mean

you're gonna break my heart tonight

you're gonna break my heart tonight

and girl that's alright

you've made up your mind

you've got too much to swallow

and you can't wait till tomorrow

i'm right on the edge

seeing our clothes on the bed

i'll do what i can

to take it like a man
