(Norro Wilson - Wayland Holyfield - Allen Henson)

Oh it's choking me to death I can hardly get my breath
It happens when I think of you and I think it always will
Every day that passes by it's just one more way to die
Lord knows, I'd be gone now on if a broken heart could kill.

Why didn't you just take a gun and shoot me where I stood
And put an end to this misery for good
But you know, I'm still alive and somehow I will survive
But Lord, knows I'd be cold and still if a broken heart could kill.

Why didn't you just take a gun and shoot me where I stood?
Lord knows, if I had the nerve enough I would
But you know, I'm still alive and somehow I will survive
But Lord knows, I'd be cold and still if a broken heart could kill...
