You Break It Lyrics by John Tesh

Garden City

1996

[Verse 1]
I've tried to tell you but it's fallen on deaf ears
How hard you've been on my heart
If that's the way you wanna play, I can compete
You've given me the bitter, now I want the sweet
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause everything you do comes back on you
Everything you do comes back on you
[Verse 2]
If you can hear me, consider this a warning
Something your momma left out
When it's concerning matters of the heart
You better play fair right from the start
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause everything you do comes back on you
Everything you do comes back on you
[Chorus]
You brеak it, you pay for it
You break my heart, you're gonna pay for it
[Verse 3]
Maybе you would rather choose not to believe it
And maybe you'll just hide your eyes
But the truth has a strange way of revealing
And my heart won't pay the price
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause everything you do comes back on you
Everything you do comes back on you
[Chorus]
You break it, you pay for it
You break my heart, you're gonna pay for it
[Bridge]
Truth sees through all disguising
My heart will not break, oh
[Chorus]
You break it, you pay for it
(Everything you do comes back on you)
You break my heart, you're gonna pay for it
(Everything you do comes back on you)
(Everything, everything you do)
You break it, you're gonna pay for it (You pay for it)
(Everything you do comes back on you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You break my heart, you're gonna pay for it
(Everything you do comes back on you)
(Everything, everything you do)
You break it, you pay for it, yeah, oh
(Everything you do comes back on you)
(Everything, everything you do)
You break my heart, you're gonna pay for it
(Everything you do comes back on you)
(Everything, everything you do)
You break it, you pay for it
(Everything you do...)
