But love is strange.

I thought about it for a long, long time,

But the truth remains.

I don't need another lonely night to dry my tears.

The answer's plain as black and white,

And I can see the picture very clear.

I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart.

I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl.

I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart.

Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye?

It isn't like you never had the chance

To change your tune.

Did you think that I'm a dime a dance?

Well the dance is through.

I've been doin' things your way too long,

But baby that's over.

It won't be easy, but I've gotta be strong,

And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder.

I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart.

I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl.

I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart.

Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye?

I'll find someone else who's nothing like you.

Two can play the game as well,

And you're gonna be sorry, baby,

When it's over!

[Guitar Interlude]

I've been doin' things your way too long,

But baby that's over.

It won't be easy but I've gotta be strong,

And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder.

[Chorus Out]
