Do

Down dooby doo down down
Comma, comma, down dooby doo

Comma, comma, down dooby doo down down
Breaking up is
hard to do
Don't
take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery
If
you go then I'll be blue
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
Remember
when you held me tight
And you kissed me all through the
night
Think of all that we've been through
And breaking up is
hard to do
They
say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know I know that it's
true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I
wish that we were making up again
I
beg of you don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love another
try?
Come on, baby, let's start anew
'Cause breaking up is hard
to do
(They say that breaking up is hard to do)
Now
I know, I know that it's true
(Don't say that this is the
end)
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again
I
beg of you don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love another
try?
Come on, baby, let's start anew
'Cause breaking up is hard
to do
Comma,

Comma, comma, down dooby doo down

Comma, comma, down dooby doo down down
Comma, comma, down
dooby doo down
