Too Broke to Break

(Johnny Russell - Voni Morrison)



You're tellin' everybody just exactly how it's gonna be

You're gonna make me love you then you're gonna make the fool of me

But I think you oughta know you're just one love too late

My heart's too broke to break.



I've got a little secret if you play the game of hurt and run

Somebody just before already played the willin's part and won

If you're bout to break my heart you'll make a big mistake

My heart's too broke to break.



You've got it in your head to break my heart

But you might as well give up before you start

I still remember how he treated me

And you're not addin' to that misery.



You're a goin' go-getter and I know you're gonna hurt your pride

'Cause you ordered boiled chicken but you're gonna get your chicken fried

And I know this bitter news is hard for you to take

But my heart's too broke to break.
