Chorus: 
What's the use in breakin' up 
When you just turn around and make up? 

Oh you say you're tired and you're uninspired 
And you wanna leave me, oh baby 
The last time you felt that way 
Girl, you left me for a whole day 
Then you called me on the telephone (hey baby) 
In your sweet and your softest tone (hey baby) 
Askin' me "What should we do?" 
When you know all the time that I'm crazy about you 

(chorus x2) 

We had the same conversation 
Well it couldn't have been more than a week ago 
I said "Darlin', you're breakin' my heart 
And I don't see how I can take much more" 
I got up and walked out of the door (hey baby) 
Walked on down to the corner store (hey baby) 
And by the time what I said took in 
I turned right around and came back again 

(chorus x2) 

Girl, I guess we do it 'cause it's such a groove (hey baby) 
To find somethin' that you need to use (hey baby) 
Oh baby, I love you, I swear 
And ain't neither one of us goin' nowhere 

(chorus x2) 

You know that you and I both started 
And if we break up we will be broken hearted 
Let on I've always loved you 
And I think the whole world of you
