At a table for two with a romantic view
He said, ''There's something that you need to know
I dont usually date so if I hesitate
It's just that I'm taking it slow.''

He said, ''Darling, I don't want to hurt you.''
As he gently reached out for her hand
She laughed, she picked up her menu
And said, ''Mister, you dont understand.''

''I've been loved, I've been left
I've been wronged by the best
I've had hopes that were shattered in two
I've heard promises spoken
I've had dreams left so broken
There was no chance they'd ever come true.''

''It ain't easy to see
By looking at me
But theres no hell I haven't walked thorugh
If youre worried thats fine
But this heart of mine's
Been broken by better than you.''

When dinner was done
She said, ''I had fun.''
As they walked to her door he smiled
He said, ''It's only ten, could I come in?
Maybe we could just talk for awhile.''

She said, ''Honey, I know what youre after,
And as much as I'd like you to stay,
Nothing good ever lasted
When it gets started that way.''

''I've been loved, I've been left,
I've been wronged by the best
I've had hopes that were shattered in two
I've heard promises spoken
I've had dreams left so broken
There was no chance they'd ever come true.''

''It ain't easy to see
But take it from me
There's no hell I haven't walked through
And I won't cross that line
'Cause this heart of mine's
Been broken by better than you.''

''No, I won't cross that line,
'Cause this heart of mine's
Been broken by better than you.''...
