Don't Break the Heart That Needs You

Don't break the heart that needs you
There's nowhere you can go but down if you do
To turn your back on someone will make you sorry
I can guarantee you
Don't make the fatal error of thinking you'll find someone better
Don't break the heart that needs you
Don't
Don't
Don't
 
Is history too much for you to handle?
A little too much wax burned off the candle?
If curiosity has made you restless
Don't stray too far or else you may regret it
 
Don't break the heart that needs you
There's nowhere you can go but down if you do
To turn your back on someone will make you sorry
I can guarantee you
Don't make the fatal error of thinking you'll find someone better `cause you won't
Don't break the heart that needs you
Don't
Don't
Don't
 
Don't break the heart that needs you
There's nowhere you can go but down if you do
To turn your back on someone will make you sorry
I can guarantee you
Don't make the fatal error of thinking you'll find someone better
Don't break the heart that needs you
Don't
Don't break the heart that needs you
Don't
Don't break the heart that needs you
Don't
Don't
Don't


Words and music by Amy Rigby.

Quoth the Johns:

I first heard this song covered by a few different singers in downtown NYC (including Laura Cantrell, upcoming Hello artist). I finally realized it wasn't a SoCal-rock standard but the work of a great songwriter named Amy Rigby. World Famous Blue Jay Jay Sherman-Godfrey delivers the Frippertronic solo.
