         baby we had a groove
         movin´ to the moment when we´d make our love

         something happened
         and i´m not lyin´ bout the pain

4.Verse: i want the answer
         i want my stuff
         i´m dealin´ with a feelin´ deeper than love
         i´m helpless
         so helpless
         but i remember

Chorus:  she keeps sayin´ breakaway
         something sayin´ breakaway
         tellin´ me to breakaway
         keeps on sayin´ breakaway
