Lyrics

Hey boy, we're drifting apart

We keep breaking each other's hearts

Tell me how long can this go on

Before all our love is gone?

Tell me now

Can we pick up the pieces?

Can we pick up the pieces

And start all over?

I don't wanna lose you now

We keep acting like little children

Playing games that's so unfair

We keep stepping on each other's feelings

When deep down, deep down we really, really care

Got to pick up the pieces

Got to pick up the pieces

And start all over

Start all over

I know we can make it

This time we can go all the way

'Cause I realize now the cost of losing you

Is too high a price, oh, for me to pay

Ooh baby, I don't ever wanna lose you now

Start all over

Start all over

Got to pick up the pieces

Got to pick up the pieces

I don't ever

(Got to pick up the pieces)

I don't ever wanna lose you, baby, oh no no

(Got to pick up the pieces)

We're gonna pick 'em up, pick up the pieces

Ooh baby, your love

(Got to pick up the pieces)

Ooh, you don't know how much it means to me

And we're gonna, oh yeah
