Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The girl's a fool, she broke the rule, she hurt him hard
This time we will break down
She's lost his trust and so she must know all is lost
The system has broke down
Romance has broke down
[Verse 2]
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down
[Verse 3]
She plays it hard, she plays it tough
But that's enough, the love is over
She's broke his heart and that is rough
But in the end he'll soon recover
The romance is over
[Verse 4]
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down, yeah, yeah
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down
[Verse 5]
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down, yeah, yeah, hey
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down
[Verse 6]
I've been spending my money in the Old Town
It's not the same, honey, with you not around
I've been spending my time in the Old Town
I sure miss you, honey, when you're not around
You're not around this Old Town
[Verse 7]
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down, yeah, yeah, hey
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down
[Verse 8]
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down, yeah, yeah, hey
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down
