ONE PIECE AT A TIME

One little word and I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces and I can't get over it
And I, think of you, I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces and I don't know why

One little kiss and I'm not so together
I don't know whether, I know it's not over yet
And I, think of you, I'm falling to pieces
Your breaking my heart, my Baby
One piece at a time

Tell me it's not my pride
That gets me so worked up inside
Maybe it's not what I want
When my head keeps telling my heart that I don't

One little word and I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces and I can't get over it
And I, think of you, I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces and I don't know why

Maybe it's not my fear
Each and every time you call my name
Tell me it's not my needs
That keep drawing me near like a moth to a flame

One little word and I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces and I can't get over it
And I, think of you, I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces and I don't know why

One little kiss and I'm not so together
I don't know whether, I know it's not over yet
And I, think of you, I'm falling to pieces
Your breaking my heart, my Baby
One piece at a time

So tell me it's not the night
That feels so dark and so alone
Maybe it's not what's right
But my heart keeps telling my head, would it be so wrong?

One little word and I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces and I can't get over it
And I, think of you, I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces and I don't know why

One little kiss and I'm not so together
I don't know whether, I know it's not over yet
And I, think of you, I'm falling to pieces
Your breaking my heart, my Baby
One piece at a time

Breaking my heart, my Baby
One piece at a time
Breaking my heart, my Baby
One piece at a time
