You didn't have to be nice
You didn't have to be so kind
Love there are plenty of hearts a-beggin' to be broken
Why'd you have to go and break mine

I've never been a one to trust anyone enough
To leave them my heart and soul, and say here they are take â€˜em
I don't understand, anyone, woman or man
Who can take somebody's heart and just break â€˜em

Well, you didn't have to be nice
You didn't have to be so kind
Love there are plenty of hearts a-beggin' to be broken
Why'd you have to go and break mine

You didn't have to be nice
You didn't have to be so kind
Love there are plenty of hearts a-beggin' to be broken
Why'd you have to go and break mine

Yeah, you didn't have to be nice
Yeah, you didn't have to be so kind
Love there are plenty of hearts a-beggin' to be broken
Why'd you have to go and break mine
