Accompaniment:


Lyrics

  1. I pity you, you can’t be true
    Why must you break hearts in two?
    You took my love to amuse you
    Now I find out I must lose you
    It’s hard to bear sorrow and care
    You’ll know when you get your share

Chorus
Whose heart are you breaking tonight?
Whose eyes are just seeing the light?
Who are you refusing to see?
Who’s the next to suffer like me?
Whose cheeks have been sprinkled with tears?
Who is sad and blue?
Whose heart’s aching?
Whose heart is breaking all over you?

  1. You live on lies, you think that eyes
    Are made to cry over you
    Some day when you love sincerely
    You’ll pay the price and pay dearly
    Somehow I feel you can be real
    Why not play fair when you deal?
