Tender was my lover from the suburbs of town

We were sweethearts from college she was always around

We were good for each other but some things they just don't work out

There were tears in my eyes when she walked away

We had plans to get married some day

But the promises were broken before they were even made

Now I'm dancing with a broken heart

Ain't no doctor who can make it start

Singing these are the words that I'm never gonna say again

Because I've given till I've given up

One more casualty of easy love

Singing these are the words that I'm never gonna say again

Tender was my lover, god I miss her embrace

And I wonder who it is that puts a smile on her face

I recall the way she feels and oh I recall the way she tastes

If I could hold her now then all that I'd see

remind me of childhood memories

She was the first day of summer, yeah that girl, that girl's for me

Now I'm dancing with a broken heart

Ain't no doctor who can make it start

Singing these are the words that I'm never gonna say again

Because I've given till I've given up

One more casualty of easy love

Singing these are the words that I'm never gonna say again

And these are the words that I say to your picture

These are the words that I say in a dream

These are the words that I wish I'd said to you

when you were standing here next to me

Because I've given till I've given up

One more casualty of easy love

Singing these are the words that I'm never gonna say again

Oh now I'm dancing with a broken heart

Ain't no doctor who can make it start

Singing these are the words that I'm never gonna say again

Now I'm dancing with a broken heart

Ain't no doctor who can make it start

Singing these are the words that I'm never gonna say again
