Breakaway

(album: Crimson & Clover - 1969)

Now, now, now, I know how you feel inside,
Someone you love took you for a ride,
You better tell him it's all over,
Girl, you know that I'll be standing by, yes, I will.
Better hear what I say, uh-huh,
Breakaway.

Baby, you know he ain't no good for you,
That he don't love you the way I do.
Can't you see you'll get hurt now?
That he can't give you love that he don't have? No, no.
Girl, it's better this way, come on,
Breakaway, baby.

Now, now, if you ever need a helping hand,
Turn around, baby, here I am.
Now, I've been loving you such a long time,
Watching you throw your sweet, sweet love away, uh-huh.
Better hear what I say, uh-huh,
Breakaway.

Hey!
Come on baby.
You got to hear me, babe, come breakaway.
You got to hear me now, so breakaway!
C'mon, yeah!
Hey!
