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 
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again 
Because I've given till I've given up 
One more casualty of easy love 
These are the words that I'll 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'd 
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 
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again 

Because I've given till I've given up 
One more casualty of easy love 
These are the words that I'll 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 
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again 

Oooh now I'm dancing with a broken heart 
Ain't no doctor who can make it start 
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again 

Now I'm dancing with a broken heart 
Ain't no doctor who can make it start 
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
