Baby, Dont Break My Heart Slowly

Words by vonda shepard
Music by vonda shepard & james newton howard

I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you needed me
Every time things got rocky
I was believing in you
Am I mistaken do you say,
Do you say what you mean
I want our love to last forever(chorus)
But I’d rather you be mean than love and lie
I’d rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I’d rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don’t you break my heart slow
I like the way you’d hold me
Every night for so long baby
And I like the way you’d say my name
In the middle of the night
While you were sleeping
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken
Do you mean, mean what you say
When you say our love could last forever
(chorus)
Well I’d rather you be mean than love and lie
I’d rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I’d rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don’t you break my heart slow
(bridge)
You would run around and lead me on forever
While I wait at home thinking that we’re together
I wanted our love to last forever
(chorus)
Well I’d rather you be mean than love and lie
I’d rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I’d rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don’t you break my heart slow
(chorus)

I heard this song last night and fell in love with it. Not knowing where you stand with someone can be as painful as knowing they dont love you like you love them.
