Lyrics Break It Up - Patti Smith

Break It Up

When you feel let down
And the flower’s turnin' brown
Break it up, yeah
(Break it up, yeah)
You’re a fool but not be cruel for
What you’re gonna do If it’s an old man or young boy
You’re hangin' out with other guys
I’m no fool, I’ll never be true to you
If it’s an old man or young boy
You’re hangin' out with other guys
I’m no fool, I’ll never be true to you
Break it up, break it up, yeah
Break it up, break it up, yeah
Break it up, break it up, yeah
When the slap starts to hurt
And your heart is gonna burst
Break it up, yeah
(Break it up, yeah)
You’re a fool to let the cruel
Tell you what to do Break it up
(Break it up, yeah)
If it’s an old man or young boy
You’re hangin' out with other guys
I’m no fool, I’ll never be true to you
If it’s an old man or young boy
You’re hangin' out with other guys
I’m no fool, I’ll never be true to you
Break it up, break it up, yeah
Break it up, break it up, yeah
Break it up, break it up, yeah
Before you break down
Now you’re alone
And there’s nothin' worse than home
Break it up, yeah
(Break it up, yeah)
Go back to the chain
'Cause nothing is the same
Break it up, yeah
(Break it up, yeah)
If it’s an old man or young boy
You’re hangin' out with other guys
I’m no fool, I’ll never be true to you
If it’s an old man or young boy
You’re hangin' out with other guys
I’m no fool, I’ll never be true to you
Break it up, break it up, yeah
Break it up, break it up, yeah
Break it up, break it up, yeah
Break it up, break it up, yeah
Break it up, break it up, yeah
Break it up, break it up, yeah
Before you break down
