It's a dangerous world we live in

Crime is everywhere

There's always some sad story going down



You can read it in the paper

You can see it on the air

It's an evil epidemic going round



But nobody seems to notice

The saddest crime of all

Oh just how many times a day

Someone takes their love away

And the national statistics

Never put it in the chart

But every second someone breaks a heart



There's a woman out there somewhere

Who feels she lost her life

But her man just shot her world down

And it hurts



There's a guy who just got taken

And it cuts him like a knife

Some girl stole his heart and left him

Without a world



They don't call it a crime of passion

But it kills you just the same

It's murder when a true love dies

Right before your very eyes



And as soon as one is over

Another one will start

Every second someone breaks

Every second someone breaks a heart



If you've got someone who loves you

Be careful all the time

Do you know where your love is tonight

Cause there's always someone trying

To find the perfect crime

And you never know just when

They'll strike



So you better watch your woman

And you better watch your man

Cause no one's safe when love's at stake

Anybody's heart can break



And the next time that it happens

You're not the losing part

Every second someone breaks a heart

Every second someone breaks a heart

Every second someone breaks a heart
