Brokenhearted (Soulpower Duet Mix) Lyrics

[Chorus: Brandy & Wanya]
Only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over

[Verse 1: Brandy]
I'm young but I'm wise enough to know
That you don't fall in love overnight
That's why I thought if I took my time
That everything in love would be right, oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus: Wanya]
But as soon as I closed my eyes
I was sayin' to love, "Goodbye"

[Chorus: Brandy & Wanya]
(But I guess I'm) only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over

[Verse 2: Wanya, with Brandy]
No more empty conversation
Next time I will be totally sure, oh
Don't want the pain of fallin' in and out of love
It's more than my poor heart should know
[Pre-Chorus: Brandy]
So I'll listen to all advice
And remember each time I cry

[Chorus: Brandy & Wanya]
(That I guess I'm) only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over
Only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over

[Harmonizing]

[Pre-Chorus: Brandy & Wanya]
So, I'll listen to all advice
And remember each time I cry, I'm

[Chorus: Brandy & Wanya]
Only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over
[Outro: Brandy & Wanya]
Never thought I'd be alone again
That's why I asked you to be my best friend
Oh, you know you're always on my mind
I think about you all the time

I'm only brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over
Only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again...

The story behind the duet version of Brandy’s “Brokenhearted” starts while they were on tour together in early 1995.

Brandy was the opening act for Boyz II Men’s national tour in early 1995, and according to Brandy, she and Wanya Morris always talked about doing a tour together.

Morris listened to Brandy’s debut album on the plane on their way to another city. According to MTV News, he told Brandy, “Yo, we should do a duet of ‘Brokenhearted’.”

Brandy agreed, and the rest is history.
