Irma Thomas
Break-a-way
[Verse 1]
I've made my reservation
I'm leavin' town tomorrow
I'll find somebody new
And there'll be no more sorrow

[Pre-Chorus]
That's what I do each time
But I can't follow through

[Chorus]
I can't breakaway
Though you make me cry
I can't breakaway
I can't say goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
No, I'll never, ever breakaway from you
No, no, no-no, no, no, no
No-no, no, no, no
No-no, no, no, no

[Verse 2]
I'll make a vow to myself
You and I are through
Nothin' can change my mind
And "I'm sorry" just won't do
[Pre-Chorus]
That's what I say each time
But I can't follow through

[Chorus]
I can't breakaway
Though you make me cry
I can't breakaway
I can't say goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
I'll never, ever breakaway from you
No, no, no-no, no, no, no
No-no, no, no, no
No-no, no, no, no

[Bridge]
Even though you treat me bad
And many cruel words are spoken
You have got a spell on me
That just can't be broken, no-no-no

[Verse 3]
I take your picture down
And throw it away, yeah
There'll be no baby now
For you to call each day
[Pre-Chorus]
That's what I say each time
But I can't follow through

[Post-Chorus]
I can't breakaway
Though you make me cry
I can't breakaway
I can't say goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
I'll never, ever breakaway from you
No, no, no-no, no, no, no
No-no, no, no, no
No-no, no, no, no

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I can't breakaway
Though you make me cry
I can't breakaway
I can't say goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
I'll never, ever breakaway from you
No, no, no-no, no, no, no
[Outro]
I can't breakaway
I can't breakaway
