You Broke My Heart In 17 Places
Kirsty MacColl · Other Songs - Kirsty MacColl
You had just been along for the ride
But now the show is over
I'm glad 'cause you always made me so sad
I thought I was going to go mad
When you just ran for cover
Now I'm going away to be on my own
And I will forget all the things that you've done
'cause you broke my heart in 17 places
Shepherds bush was only one
You say you won't walk out on me anymore
But I remember you said that before
And you won't get a chance now
We're through
So there's one thing I've gotta do
I'm gonna go out with somebody new
And find some true romance now
So don't expect me to be hanging around
When you get fed up with the other girls in town
'cause you broke my heart in 17 places
Shepherds bush was only one
There's no point in us making any more dates
Why don't you play football with some of your mates?
If I stay in london I'll just want to cry
So I'm leaving baby, this is my final goodbye
(this is my final goodbye)
Now I'm going away to be on my own
And I will forget all the things that you've done
'cause you broke my heart in 17 places
Shepherds bush was only one
You broke my heart in 17 places
Shepherds bush was only one (only one)
Only one (only one), only one (only one),
Only one.
