Think It Over Before You Break My Heart by Brenda Holloway Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now you're walking out on me
You’ve really made up your mind
You're heading straight for the door
Of the girl who has broken your heart many times before
Maybe, baby, you should wait
At least just another day
Before you rush off to her arms
And break my heart this way

[Chorus]
Baby, before you break my heart, reconsider
You're tearing me apart, reconsider
Before you break my heart, reconsider
You’re tearing me apart, reconsider
With each step you're takin', remember all the time
That you'll be breakin', breakin', breakin', breakin'
This poor heart of mine

[Verse 2]
I believed your promises that you would never make me cry
But every single time she begged for a call, you were telling me goodbye
Baby, baby, I can’t make it, can’t take it with a smile
So don't break my heart so suddenly, think it over a little while
[Chorus]
Baby, before you break my heart, reconsider
You’re tearing me apart, reconsider
Before you break my heart, reconsider
You're tearing me apart, reconsider
Each time you take her in your arms, remember all the time
You'll be breakin', breakin’, breakin', breakin'
This poor heart of mine, yeah

With each step you're takin', remember all the time
That you'll be breakin', breakin', breakin', breakin'
This poor heart of mine, yeah

[Outro]
Reconsider, baby, about me
Girl leave, what am I supposed to do?
Wait another day, wait another day
Don't leave me, baby, wait another day
