When Love Breaks Down Lyrics - Prefab Sprout

My love and I, we work well together 

But often we're apart 

Absence makes the heart lose weight 

Till love breaks down, love breaks down 

Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather 

The sweet September rain 

Rain on me like no other 

Until I drown, until I drown 

When love breaks down the things you do 

To stop the truth from hurting you 

When love breaks down the lies we tell 

They only serve to fool ourselves 

When love breaks down the things you do 

To stop the truth from hurting you 

When love breaks down, when love breaks down 

My love and I, we are boxing clever 

She'll never crowd me out 

Fall be free as old confetti 

And paint the town, paint the town 

When love breaks down the things you do 

To stop the truth from hurtin' you 

When love breaks down the lies we tell 

They only serve to fool ourselves 

When love breaks down the things you do 

To stop the truth from hurtin' you 

When love breaks down the lies we tell 

They only serve to fool ourselves 

When love breaks down the things you do 

To stop the truth from hurting you 

When love breaks down you join the wrecks 

Who leave their hearts for easy sex 

When love breaks down 

When love breaks down
