Tread gently on a broken heart
For yours may be the next to break
Remember, when sweet lovers part
It's a bloody business, make no mistake

Tho' "goodbye" may take a simple shrug
Or be a simple parting of the ways
For others, who are still in love
It's a desperate ache for all their days

So when you talk of love be sure
You really mean just what you say
For any fool can fall in love
If it only has to last a day
