The ninth song on Accept’s third album “Breaker”, it’s the only slow paced ballad in the album, standing out for itself. It’s about a break-up and one side missing and longing for the other and breaking up again, as the song title says.
[Verse 1]
Waking up on Monday morning
Sunday'd been and gone
Reaching out for you
But I was alone
Now I sit at the breakfast table
Table's set for two
Been the same thing every morning
Silly things I do
[Chorus]
Ooh, don't know what to do about you
I never could give the way you gave
Ooh, now should I try to find you
Keep playing every song you played me
Feel like breaking up again
[Verse 2]
It's a thing I gotta live with
Take it on my own
I'm waiting till it's over
Then again I never know
If I'd only seen you going
Walking out the door
But I had no way of knowing
Can't take it no more
[Chorus]
Ooh, don't know what to do about you
I never could give the way you gave
Ooh, now should I try to find you
Keep playing every song you played me
Feel like breaking up again
[Instrumental Outro]
