How would this be if I was alone tonight   Maybe then my love everything would turn out right   I wish that this were easy but you know that it never is   It seems like hearts get broken during things like this      And if you see her walking down along these streets   Her body softly swayin' to her heart's broken beats   And if you see her tell her that I'm doin' fine   And tell her if she feels like talkin' she should call me sometime      And I can't fight it anymore   I can't stop it once it starts      Well it's a shame, babe   Well it's a shame, babe   Well it's a shame, babe   The way we've torn it all apart      And if you see her let her know I wish her well   And if things will get much better tell her only time will tell   'Cause if she's lonely well I'm alright   'Cause you know   When it falls down I'll be there to pick it up one more time      And I can't fight it anymore   I can't stop it once it starts      Well it's a shame, babe   Well it's a shame, babe   Well it's a shame, babe   The way we've torn it all apart
