Everybody seems to have their own point of view
In time my friend there'll be another
Everybody wants to tell me what I should do
But I don't know if I'll recover

What did I do, did I deserve it?
Have I been careless with you baby?
What can I do to make it better?

When I start to break it all down
When I start to break it all down
It's becoming perfectly clear to me

If I make it through the whole night
Everything is gonna be alright
I'm sure that it's the way that it should be
And when I start to break it all down
When I start to break it all down
It's becoming perfectly clear to me

Seems that I have reached a point of consciousness
Where my love was real and yours was tender
There is nothing else I know we could've done
'Cause I believe in sweet surrender

What did I do, did I deserve it?
Have I been careless with you baby?
What can I do to make it better?

When I start to break it all down
When I start to break it all down
It's becoming perfectly clear to me

If I make it through the whole night
Everything is gonna be alright
I'm sure that it's the way that it should be
And when I start to break it all down
When I start to break it all down
It's becoming perfectly clear to me

I said oh
When I start to break it down
When I start to break it down
When I start to break it down, down, down, down

If I make it through the whole night
Everything's gonna be alright
I'm sure that it's the way that it should be
And when I start to break it all down
When I start to break it all down
It's becoming perfectly clear to me

And when I start to break it all down
When I start to break it all down
It's becoming perfectly clear to me
