Prince - The Breakdown lyrics

[Verse 1] Listen to me closely as the story unfolds This could be the saddest story even been told I used to want the house with the biggest pool I've been missing out I just feel like a fool [Chorus] Keep breaking me down, down, down Keep breaking me down, down, down Keep breaking me down, down, down Keep breaking me down, down, down [Verse 2] I used to throw the party at the New Year's Eve First one intoxicated, last one to leave Waking up in places that you would never believe Give me back the time, you can keep the memories [Chorus] [Bridge] Every book I've read said that I would meet somebody like you Whenever I was sorry, so sorry for the things I used to do A journal full of numbers that I used to go through (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) all behind me now, all because of you [Chorus] You keep breaking me, you keep breaking me down I don't wanna walk out Don't wanna go down, down, down [Verse 4] See there's a door that you can walk through Where there used to be a wall I don't care, it's cool as long as you catch me baby (Catch me when I fall) If there's ever a fall Closer to the breakdown, the closer we get
