作词 : Prince Rogers Nelson/Kris Kristofferson Listen to me closely as the story unfolds This could be the saddest story even been told I used to want the house with the biggest pool I've been missing out I just feel like a fool Keep breaking me down down down Keep breaking me down down down Keep breaking me down down down Keep breaking me down down down I used to throw the party at the New Year's Eve First one intoxicated last one to leave Waking up in places that you would never believe Give me back the time Give me back the time You can keep the memories Keep breaking me down down down Keep breaking me down down down Keep breaking me down down down Keep breaking me down down down Every book I've read said That I would meet somebody like you Whenever I was sorry So sorry for the things I used to do A journal full of numbers that I used to go through 1 2 3 4 5 6 71 2 3 4 5 6 7 All behind me now all because of you You keep breaking me down down down You keep breaking me You keep breaking me down I don't wanna walk out Don't wanna go down down down down down See there's a door that you can walk through Where there used to be a wall I don't care It's cool as long as you catch me baby Catch me when I fall If there's ever a fall Closer to the breakdown Closer to the breakdown The closer we get...... To the breakdown
