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
