"I.O.U. (A Broken Heart)"

Dear, I've been remembering all we used to do
The things we shared together, the things that I .O. U

I. O. U. the long, long waits, the broken dates
When you were out with someone new
I. O. U. the tears I’ve cried, the times you lied
And told me you were being true
I. O. U. a thousand fights, the sleepless nights
Your cheating ways kept me awake
I. O. U. a broken heart
But you haven't got a heart for me to break

If I tried for ever still I really know
I could never, never pay you all I owe

I. O. U. the deep distress, the sorry mess
You made of all the hopes I knew
I. O. U. the vows you broke, the great big joke
You made of my great love for you
I. O. U. the tortured brain, the hurt and pain
I used to bear for true love's sake
I. O. U. a broken heart but
You haven’t got a heart for me to break

I. O. U. times and tons of grief and misery
I. O. U. alibis that wouldn't get by a little child of three

For my parting words to you I hope before life's through
You will owe to someone else all that I. O. U

I. O. U. some bitter pills, the shakes and chills
I got when you would never phone
I. O. U. the many crimes, the endless times
I had to sit at home alone
I. O. U. a thing or two
For all the love you'd never give but always take
I. O. U. a broken heart
But you haven't got a heart for me to break
I. O. U. a broken heart
But you haven't got a heart for me to break
