[Verse - Bobby Caldwell]
I believed when you said what you said, I believed
And I trusted you can conceive
Or our love being dead, I believe
That your days are few

[Bridge - Bobby Caldwell]
What I need, like the flowers need the rain
How I love but not feel pain from you
If that's a no can do

[Chorus - Bobby Caldwell]
Breaking up, words that no one wants to say
Breaking up, it's so hard to walk away
Breaking up, if my love means anything to you
Baby think it through, or we're breaking up

[Interlude]

[Verse - Deniece Williams, Bobby Caldwell]
I have tried to do right, day and night
Lord, I've tried
I've been good to you every time
I get burnt every time, how unfair
Did you ever really care?

[Bridge - Deniece Williams, Bobby Caldwell, both]
What I need (I need), like the flowers need the rain (I need the rain)
How I love but not feel pain from you
If that's a no can do

[Chorus - Deniece Williams, Bobby Caldwell, both]
Breaking up, words that no one wants to say
(No one wants to say it, no)
Breaking up, it's so hard to walk away
(Don't want you to go away) [?]
Breaking up, if my love means anything to you
Baby think it through, or we're breaking up

[Rap - Eric Biddines]
I liked it better before we made love
It wasn't complicated and we used to have fun
I would tell you 'bout my day and you'd ask about my dreams
It was rare for us to be divided nowadays it seems, all day
We fighting over a lot of thangs
We had an argument, I had to pull away
'Cause in the second that you mad
Just to when I say you right
You don't mean just something you ain't even wanna say
Tripping, now where that ain't your fault, I take a part of blame
I regret when I was lying, I was never raised
Run around town people talk about
We was papa love, in the street like a word of mouth
I ain't saying that it's easy
And I struggle about the sign that we leaving
Something in the past 'cause we need it
To let it go, while we still speaking
Last, and I will miss your smile, and always
Have a spot where we just can't go on
We gotta break
And hope we gonna find love on our faith
Yeah it's hard like a concrete wall but we'll make it
And just to think I thought that we'll be forever
Never seeing in my mind that the day will be without you
Any last words have you?

[Outro - Deniece Williams]
Breaking up is hard to do
Ooh~
