[Verse 1]
Tender was my lover from the suburbs of town
We were sweethearts from college
She was always around
We were good for each other
But some things they just don't work out
There were tears in my eyes when she walked away
We had plans to get married some day
But the promises were broken before they were even made

[Chorus]
Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
Because I've given till I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again

[Verse 2]
Tender was my lover, god I miss her embrace
And I wonder who it is that puts a smile on her face
I recall the way she feels and oh I recall the way she tastes
If I could hold her now then all that I'd see'd
Remind me of childhood memories
She was the first day of summer
Yeah that girl, that girl's for me

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
And these are the words that I say to your picture
These are the words that I say in a dream
These are the words that I wish I'd said to you
When you were standing here next to me

[Chorus]
Because I've given till I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
Oooh now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again

[Outro]
Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
