Intro

I was born a broken-hearted boy, give or take an ounce

And the world wouldn't give me a break waiting, ready to pounce

I was born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken

I was born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken

 Oooh in two

If you're out wandering in the streets, knock on my window, it'll open

My bed is small, but so are we. Let love lay us low -- here's to hoping

You were born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken

You were born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken

 Oooh in two

Chorus

Sometimes we get so confused

 We get taken for a ride

 We get worked over

Some of us come with new hearts

Most of us come with used hearts

Baby, why do you look so sad?

There are men who will stand accused, but they won't be told the why

They were strong so were beaten down, but the sun look gold through blackened eyes

They were born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken

They were born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken

 Oooh in two

Chorus

Sometimes we get so confused

 We get taken for a ride

 We get worked over

Some of us come with new hearts

Most of us come with used hearts

Baby, why do you look so sad?

Were you born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken

Were you born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken

 Oooh in two
