You're the Break

I never had much luck with romance Anytime it ever got near me Love seemed to slip through my hands Took me low as a girl could be So if I act a little gun shy Don't think it's 'cause I don't want you I know you'll understand just why When I tell you what my heart's been through It's been bulldozed Deep froze heaven knows It's a true connoisseur of pain It's been lost, double crossed Rolled up and hand tossed Left out in the pourin' rain It's been beat down, kicked around Stomped into the hard ground Slammed like a finger in the door But honey, you're the break My heart's been waitin' for You're like a breath of fresh air Dry land to a ship at sea Boy, I'm sendin' up my last flare I think you're gonna rescue me Baby, I'm countin' on your touch To get us back on the mend My heart's gotten hurt so much It sure could use a friend 'Cause it's been bulldozed Deep froze heaven knows It's a true connoisseur of pain It's been lost, double crossed Rolled up and hand tossed Left out in the pourin' rain It's been beat down, kicked around Stomped into the hard ground Slammed like a finger in the door But honey, you're the break My heart's been waitin' for It's been beat down, kicked around Stomped into the hard ground Slammed like a finger in the door But honey, you're the break My heart's been waitin' for, yeah --- You're the Break - Anita Cochran
