Young girl, you really did believe in him

Still he broke your heart with lies

You've got to be stronger, the pain it won't last much longer

Don't lose respect for yourself, no

Sweet young thing, no don't lose your head, or by the time you're 17

You'll be waking every morning with a stranger in your bed



Chorus:

One broken heart, I know it cuts like a knife

But one broken heart is no reason to give up on life

Girl be waiting, be anticipating for that new love to come along

And one broken heart you'll survive



So sad, you lived for and now you're dying for love

Ah - but you won't find it like that - no

No peace and calm in the strength of a stranger's arms

Baby wake up to yourself, now



Love ain't guaranteed - no - but it sure is worth a new start

Or by the time you're 21

You'll be lying in a stranger's bed, dying from a broken heart



chorus



(Solo)



And I'm hoping, I'm really hoping, that sweet love will come your way to mend



One broken heart you'll survive (repeats 3x)
