Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's alright if you love me
It's alright if you don't
And I'm not afraid of you running away, honey
I get the feeling you won't
[Verse 2]
There's no sense in pretending
Your eyes give you away
Something inside you is feeling like I do
We said all there is to say
[Verse 3]
Breakdown, honey, go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown, honey, take me tonight
Breakdown, I'm standing here, can't you see?
Breakdown, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
[Verse 4]
It's alright if you love me
It's alright if you don't
'Cause I'm not afraid of you runnin' away, honey
I get the feeling you won't
[Verse 5]
It's okay if you must go
'Cause I'll understand if you don't
If you say goodbye right now, I'll still survive somehow
Why should we let this drag on
[Verse 6]
Breakdown, honey, go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown, honey, take me tonight
Breakdown, I'm standing here, can't you see?
Breakdown, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, baby
[Verse 7]
Breakdown, honey, go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown, honey, take me tonight
Breakdown, now I'm standing here, can't you see?
Breakdown, it's alright, it's alright
[Verse 8]
Breakdown, honey, go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown, honey, take me through the night
Breakdown, now I'm standing here, can't you see?
Breakdown, it's alright, it's alright
[Verse 9]
Mmm, oh, baby, ah
Ooh, yeah, baby
Ah, baby, breakdown, breakdown, breakdown, breakdown
Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown, breakdown
Breakdown, breakdown
