Just one more kiss, she'll have to miss this night with you 
Now you're guilty of this secret love, as I am too 
You'll get used to telling lies, feeling sorry when she cries 
Now that the strings aren't attached, you'll catch on, we've done our part 
Oh, and this is the way we make a broken heart 
Lesson number one, we've just begun to hurt her so 
And with lesson two she'll long for you when lights are low 
And we get to lesson three when she gets down on her knees 
And begs you to stop at the door just before she comes apart 
Oh, this is the way we make a broken heart 
Now we've made a trail of tears for her to follow 
And we've thought of every line that she might swallow 
And with lesson four, there'll be no more for her to bear 
And on some dark night we'll dim the lights on this affair 
Then she'll find somebody new and he'll likely hurt her too 
'Cause there must be millions just like you and me, practiced in the art 
Oh, and this is the way we make a broken heart 
Oh, and this is the way we make a broken heart 
Ay yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi 
This is the way we make a broken heart 
Ay yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi
This is the way, this is the way, this is the way, this is the way 
Oh, this is the way we make a broken heart
