[Intro: Joss Stone]
Mm, mm
Ooh, mm

[Verse 1: Al Green]
I can think of younger days
When living for my life
Was everything
A man could want to do

[Pre-Chorus: Al Green, Joss Stone]
I could never see tomorrow (Tomorrow)
I was never told about the sorrow (Ooh, yes)

[Chorus: Al Green Joss Stone, Both]
And how can you mend, how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
Tell me, how can you stop, how can you stop that old sun from shining?
What makes the world go 'round?
And how can you mend this broken man? This broken man, yeah
How can a loser ever win? How can a loser ever win?
Somebody please help me mend, help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again, let me live again, la-la, la-la-la (Mm)
And how can you mend this broken man? Ooh
And how can you stop the rain from falling down? Mm, yeah
And how can you stop the sun from shining down on here?
Tell me what makes the world go 'round and 'round, ooh, yeah
[Verse 2: Al Green, Joss Stone]
I can still feel the breeze, fell the breeze, yes
That rustles through the trees, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
And misty memories
Of days gone by (Mm)

[Pre-Chorus: Al Green, Joss Stone, Both]
But we could never see tomorrow
Would you believe that no one, no one ever told us about the sorrow? So (It's just not right, it's just not right)

[Chorus: Al Green, Joss Stone, Both]
How can you mend a broken heart? (Tell me how to fix this man)
And mine is, mm, yeah
How can you stop the rain from falling down? (I don't know)
How? (Hey, hey)
How can you stop the sun from shining? (That old sun from shining)
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
What makes the world, the world go 'round?
And sometime I have to say, yeah ('Round and 'round)
Say, la, la, la, la-la-la-la
Oh, yeah (La, la-la-la-la, la)
La, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Mm, la-la-la, oh)

My broken heart (Help me, please)
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna (You gonna)

How can you mend, how can you mend this broken man, this broken man?
Yeah, I just wanna know, somebody tell me, I wanna help you out
How can a loser ever win? Baby, I must say (Maybe a little kiss, maybe a little help)
Baby, just a little loving for you now

I got a feeling that I want to live and live and live (La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la)
[Outro: Joss Stone, Al Green]
What else to say? What else to do (La-la-la-la, la-la)
But a little la-la? (La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la)
Hey, la-la, just a little la-la-la-la (La, la, la)
Just a little la-la-la-la (La, la-la)
