Break It To Me Gently Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

Look at me, I'm in my glory 

Like a child, who loves a story 

Pinching myself just to see 

If you're really here with me 

Nothing good can last for long 

So when you feel like moving on 

Break it to me gently 

How I wish that we could make 

Love for as long as it can take 

Wear each other out, and then 

Stop and start it all again 

All my life I dreamed of this 

And if a dream is all this is 

Break it to me gently 

And, I don't want to sound a bore 

What will be will be I know 

But there's no harm in asking 

For when you have a beauty rare 

Why can it not be everlasting 

Is it true what I hear whispered 

You get tired of men so quick 

That it's now become a standing joke 

How long will the next one cope 

If there isn't the doubt 

And I'm the next to be kicked out 

Break it to me gently 

And, I don't want to sound a bore 

What will be will be I know 

But there's no harm in asking 

You've been through all this before 

Could this one not be ever-lasting
