The Ronettes - [The Best Part Of] Breakin' Up

Baby, when we break up from a quarrel or a fight

I can't wait to have you back and hold you, oh, so tight

Tell me why (tell me why), I want to know (I want to know), oh oh

Tell me why (tell me why) is it so (is it so), oh oh

That the best part of breakin' up is when you're making up

Best part of breakin' up is when you're making up

But, after breakin' up

Be sure you're making up with me

Every time you leave, I get those teardrops in my eyes

But they seem to go away when you apologize

Tell me why (tell me why), I want to know (I want to know), oh oh

Tell me why (tell me why) is it so (is it so), oh oh

That the best part of breakin' up is when you're making up

Best part of breakin' up is when you're making up

But, after breakin' up

Be sure you're making up with me

C'mon, baby, c'mon baby

Don't say, "Maybe"

Well, it makes no difference who was wrong

Just as long as I'll be with you

Baby, I'll be lonely till you're back where you should be

But, baby, I belong to you and you belong to me

Tell me why (tell me why), I want to know (I want to know), oh oh

Tell me why (tell me why) is it so (is it so), oh oh

That the best part of breakin' up is when you're making up (tell me why)

Best part of breakin' up is when you're making up

But, after breakin' up

Be sure you're making up with

The best part of breakin' up is when you know

That you're making up with me

C'mon, baby, c'mon baby

Don't say, "maybe"

C'mon, baby

Ooh-eee, maybe

C'mon, baby

Don't say, "maybe"
