Lyrics
Breakin' Down
I'm taking it just as it comes
to me, babe
I'm wakin' up just when I should should
No pushin' it,
No rushing to make it good
I'm not too worried to know
if I could
(chorus)
No more breaking down
No more falling down
Because I can't live too well
when I'm falling down
Maybe I'm older
Maybe I'm smarter too
Maybe it's just me
Or because I'm with you
It could be that things just come
when they're supposed to
Or I've come to the point
where I've paid my dues
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I'll be singin' and lovin' well
I'll be dealin' and I'll give 'em hell!
(Instrumental Bridge)
(Chorus)
