[Verse 1]
If we fuss and we fight
Why do we have to do it every Saturday night?
We can act for our friends
But why can't we face each other when the masquerade ends?
Well, now, I don't know what's happening
I can't tell just who's to blame
But two forgiving people
Could be so in love again

[Chorus]
Stop! We're breakin' up a happy home
Oh, darlin'
Stop! 'Cause I never was much good alone
Sweet baby
Oh, don't turn your back and walk away
Don't do it, no
Stop! We're breakin' up a happy home, yeah

[Verse 2]
It's a game no one wins
Trying to hurt each other with those needles and pins
I can't go back, can't go on
But somehow I know the feeling isn't totally gone
Oh, there's so much love between us
That we're so afraid to show
It's been keeping us together
But for how long, I don't know
[Chorus]
Stop! Yeah, we're breakin' up a happy home
Oh, darlin'
Stop! I never was much good alone
Listen, baby
Ooh, don't, no, turn your back and walk away
Don't do it, oh, stop
Stop! We're breakin' up a happy home, yeah

[Outro]
Stop! Stop! Don't break it up
Stop! Stop! Don't break it up
Gotta be another way we can try
Stop! Stop! Don't break it up
Stop! Stop! Don't break it up
I don't wanna hear you saying goodbye
(Stop! Stop! Don't break it up) Oh, baby
(Stop! Stop! Don't break it up) Sweet baby
(Stop! Stop! Don't break it up) Ah
(Stop! Stop! Don't break it up) Yeah, baby
(Stop! Stop! Don't break it up) Ooh, baby
