(Carly Simon)

You were born to break

You were born to break

You were born to break my heart



The same kitchen, the same eyes

The same reaction to the same lies

It was not so long ago,

A most auspicious start

And only now I know

You were born to break my heart

Born to break my heart...



"Guilt Trip," I can hear you say

"Get a grip girl, you've lost your way

You don't begin to understand

I guess it's time we part

And don;t be usin' that old cliche:

'you were born to break my heart'

You were born to break my heart"



No wonder we looked like the perfect couple

It was brilliantly conceived

It seems I have a yen to lose

And you can't pass up the perfect

Chance to leave



The same plot, the same rain

Just as stubborn as a fool

You'd think I might get smart

But here I am, cursed, to seek love again

>From yet another cold heart



You were born to break my heart,

Born to break my heart
