Curtis Mayfield
He Will Break Your Heart
[Chorus]
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's tryin' to tear us apart
[Verse 1]
Fare thee well, I know you're leavin'
For the new love that you have found
The handsome guy that you've been dating
I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down
'Cause
[Chorus]
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's tryin' to tear us apart
[Verse 2]
Now, he uses all the great quotations
And he says the things I wish I could say
But he's had so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play
But wait
[Verse 3]
And when the final act is over
And he leaves you standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit, yeah
Ah, I'll be there to take you home
'Cause
[Chorus]
He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you
'Cause if he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you, like I love you
He's tryin' to tear us apart
[Outro]
Now, he don't love you
Like I love you
He don't love you
He don't love you
