Lyrics

I have no business asking you the words

I know the reason you exaggerate

I know the answers to all your demands

I have no secrets

I'm not your heartbreaker

Some tender ballad player

I'm not your heartbreaker

These are the good years

All the best we'll ever know

These golden light years

I'm not your heartbreaker

Some tender ballad player

I'm not your heartbreaker

You know I'm hopeless

Oh no, no you're wrong

It's not the singer

It's the song

You know I'm helpless

Oh no, no you're wrong

It's not the singer

It's the song

On these short days

Like the Chinese stars

Let's dance in our uniforms

These are the good years

All the best we'll ever know

These golden light years

I'm not your heartbreaker

Some tender ballad player

I'm not your heartbreaker

I'm not your heartbreaker

Some tender ballad player

I'm not your heartbreaker

I'm not your heartbreaker
