Elton John - Don't Go Breaking My Heart Lyrics

Elton John Lyrics

"Don't Go Breaking My Heart"
(with RuPaul)

[Elton John (RuPaul):]
Don't go breaking my heart
(I couldn't if I tried)
Honey if I get restless
(Baby you're not that kind)
Don't go breaking my heart
(You take the weight off me)
Honey when you knock on my door
(I gave you my key)

Oooh-hoo
Nobody knows it
When I was down
(I was your clown)
Oooh-hoo
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
(I gave you my heart)
I gave you my heart

So don't go breaking my heart
(I won't go breaking your heart)
Don't go breaking my heart

And nobody told us
Because nobody showed us
And now it's up to us babe
(Oooh, I think we can make it)
So don't misunderstand me
(You put the light in my life)
Oh you put the sparks to the flame
(I've got your heart in my sights)

Oooh-hoo
Nobody knows it
When I was down
(I was your clown)
Oooh-hoo
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
(I gave you my heart)
I gave you my heart

So don't go breaking my heart
(I won't go breaking your heart)
Don't go breaking my heart

Oooh-hoo
Nobody knows it
When I was down
(I was your clown)
Right from the start
(I gave you my heart)
I gave you my heart
Oooh, I gave you my heart

So don't go breaking my heart
(I won't go breaking your heart)
Don't go breaking my heart
(I won't go breaking your heart)
Don't go breaking my heart
(I won't go breaking your heart)
Don't go breaking my heart
(I won't go breaking your heart)
Don't go breaking my heart
(I won't go breaking your heart)

This song was recorded when Elton John worked on his "Blue Moves" album, but it wasn't included on the album. It appeared on "Greatest Hits Volume II". Another version of this song appeared on the album "Duets" (1993), but instead of Kiki Dee, it featured RuPaul.

Elton John and Bernie Taupin wrote this song under the pseudonyms Ann Orson and Carte Blanche.

Elton John recorded his part in Toronto, then the tape was sent to London where Kiki Dee recorded her vocal. She recalled later, "Elton had recorded the song abroad and also did my vocals in a high-pitched voice which was quite funny, so I knew which lines to sing."

This song became the first number-one single in the UK for both Elton John and Kiki Dee. It was also very successful internationally reaching the charts top positions in several countries, e.g. France, Italy, Australia and Canada.

Elton John performed this song on a Season 2 episode of The Muppet Show in 1977. Miss Piggy was performing with him and got very exited about it, so that she shouted, "Eat your heart out, Kiki."
