(Joyce Selznick - George Fischoff)

Dear, I've been remembering all we used to do
The things we shared together the things that IOU.

IOU the long long waits
The broken dates when you were out with someone new
IOU the tears I've cried
The times you lied and told me you were being true
IOU a thousand fights
The sleepless nights your cheating ways kept me awake
IOU a broken heart but you haven't got a heart for me to break.

If I tried for ever still I really know
I could never never pay you all I owe.

IOU the deep distress
The sorry mess you made of all the hopes I knew
IOU the vows you broke
The great big joke you made of my great love for you
IOU the tortured brain
The hurt and pain I used to bear for true love's sake
IOU a broken heart but you haven't got a heart for me to break.

IOU times and tons of grief and misery
IOU alibis that wouldn't get by a little child of three.

For my parting words to you I hope before life's through
you will owe to someone else all that IOU.

IOU some bitter pills
The shakes and chills I got when you would never phone
IOU the many times the endless times had to sit at home alone
IOU a thing or two
For all the love you'd never give but always take
IOU a broken heart but you haven't got a heart for me to break.

IOU a broken heart but you haven't got a heart for me to break...
