BROKEN HEART
(David J. Ruvin / Hartley)

Petula Clark & Jimmy Young - 1951
 

PET: Here am I and I want you so

JIM: I’m sorry that I made you go

BOTH: Come back and mend my broken heart

JIM:
Broken heart it’s all because I loved you
There’s no words to tell you how I feel

PET:
Since you’ve gone I don’t know what to do, dear
All I know is that I love you still

BOTH:
Once it was a foolish heart
Filled with jealousy
But it could be a loving heart 
If you’d come back to me

PET:
How can I live while my poor heart is broken
Always needing you the way I do

BOTH:
Please come back and mend this heart of mine, dear
Broken heart it’s all because of you

JIM: If your heart is unaffected it goes.. (boom boom sound effect)

PET: If a fracture is suspected, it goes.. (tic-ti-tic sound effect)

JIM: Well mine goes.. (tic-tic-tic sound effect)

PET: Really? 

JIM: Instead of..(boom-boom-boom sound effect)
So you'd better come back and mend this broken heart

PET: Now I'm left and I'm lonely and blue
JIM: It's all because I love you
PET: All alone and I'm thinking of you
JIM: There's no words
PET: Here I sit and I'm hoping all day
JIM: To tell you how I feel
PET: That you'll come back my way
JIM: Since You've gone
PET: All the dreams I've been dreaming of you
JIM: I don't know what to do, dear
PET: Take me back to the times that we knew
JIM: All I know is
PET: for we missed all the things that could be
JIM: That I love you still
PET: I want you to see that..

BOTH:
Once it was a foolish heart
Filled with jealousy
But it could be a loving heart 
If you’d come back to me

PET: How can I live
JIM: All alone and I'm feeling so blue
PET: While my poor heart is broken
JIM: All the time when I'm thinking of you
PET: Always needing you
JIM: Can't you see that I need you
PET: The way I do
JIM: Won't you come back again

BOTH:
Please come back and mend this heart of mine, dear
Broken heart it’s all because of you

JIM: Here and now I pray

PET: That this time you'll really stay

BOTH: Come back and mend my broken heart
