I ain’t got anything to lose ‘cause I lost everything to you I ain’t got no lover of mine to hold my hand when the moon is above the hills and the meadow is wet with dew you will take that lover of mine into your arms
Don’t go breaking my heart I’m only trying to warn you that heart of yours will be torn too I’m not lying
I’m a girl with shiny eyes a little devil in disguise I will take that brother of yours into my arms where the river is flowing by and the dewy grass is high he will feel the sweet thrill of the night
Oh don’t go breaking my heart I’m only trying to warn you that heart of yours will be torn too I’m not lying if you go breaking my heart I will be crying my eyes out but soon you’ll be crying just as loud now look who’s laughing
You have taken my man from me so now I’m taking one from you I will hold that brother of yours close to heart when he’s fallen in love with me I shall leave him and then he’ll be floating in the river one night cold and pale
So don’t go breaking my heart I’m only trying to warn you that heart of yours will be torn too I’m not lying if you go breaking my heart I will be crying my eyes out but soon you’ll be crying just as loud now look who’s laughing
