My love and I, we work well together 
But often we’re apart 
Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah, 
Till love breaks down, love breaks down 

Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather 
The sweet September rain 
Rain on me like, like no other 
Until I drown, until I drown 

When love breaks down 
The things you do 
To stop the [bad word] from hurting you 
When love breaks down 
The lies we tell, 
They only serve to fool ourselves

When love breaks down 
The things you do 
To stop the [bad word] from hurting you 
When love breaks down 
When love breaks down

My love and I, we are boxing clever 
She’ll never crowd me out 
Fall be free as old confetti 
And paint the town, paint the town 

When love breaks down 
The things you do 
To stop the [bad word] from hurting you 
When love breaks down 
The lies we tell, 
They only serve to fool ourselves

When love breaks down 
When love breaks down
