Breakdown - live at the wiltern/1985 Lyrics

It's alright if you love me
It's alright if you don't
I'm not afraid of you runnin' away honey
I get the feeling you won't

Say there ain't no sense in pretending
Your eyes give you away
Something inside you is feeling like I do
We said all there is to say

Baby
Breakdown, go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown, honey, take me through the night
Breakdown, now I'm standin' here, can't you see
Breakdown, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright

Breakdown, go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown, honey, take me through the night
Breakdown, now I'm standin' here, can't you see
Breakdown, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

In this live version Tom begins singing the first verse and the crowd completely takes over. After the chorus Tom quips “you’re going to put me out of the job!” He then picks it up with the second verse starting “There ain’t no sense in pretending”.
