Analysis of Broken Hearts
A heart is not a play thing
a heart is not a toy,
but if you want it broken
just give it to a boy
You wonder where he is at night
you wonder if he´s true,
one moment you´ll be happy
the next you will be blue
And when it starts to happen
you worry day and night,
you see my friend in loving you
it never turns out right
Love is fun but hurts so much
the price you pay is high,
if I could choose between life & death
I think I´d rather die
My heart is yours forever
I hope you understand,
cuz I thought that when I gave my heart
I gave it to a man
So when I say don´t fall in love
you´ll hurt before you´re through,
you see my friend I ought to know
cuz I fell in love with you
