Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sonny abandoned his car last night Had a meeting on the docks with a light blue Monterey To breakaway Sonny was playing all his cards last night In a hotel room he dealt his life away To breakaway [Chorus] Now the promises and the lies, they demand it Let the hearts that have been broken stand as the price you pay To breakaway, oh breakaway, oh ronde, ronde, ronde, ronde ray To breakaway [Verse 2] Janie slipped from behind the bar last night Cashed out and walked onto streets rainy and gray To breakaway Janie slid into a car last night (Sha la la la, sha la la la) In a parking lot she gave her soul away (Sha la la la, sha la la la, sha la la la, sha la la la) To breakaway (Sha la la la, sha la la la) [Chorus] Now the promises and the lies, they demand it Let the hearts that have been broken stand As the price you pay to breakaway, oh, breakaway Oh, ronde, ronde, ronde, ronde ray. To breakaway [Saxophone Solo] [Verse 3] Bobby lay 'neath a sheet of stars last night His back on blacktop still warm from the heat of day From breakaway Bobby went down hard last night (Sha la la la, sha la la la) Saw a shooting star as the evening light slipped away (Sha la la la, sha la la la, sha la la la, sha la la la) From breakaway (Sha la la la, sha la la la) [Chorus] Now the promises and the lies, they demand it Let the hearts that have been broken stand as the price you pay To breakaway, oh breakaway, oh ronde, ronde, ronde, ronde ray From breakaway (Sha la la la, sha la la la) [Outro] Oh breakaway (Sha la la la, sha la la la) Oh breakaway (Sha la la la, sha la la la) Oh breakaway (Sha la la la, sha la la la)
