[Verse 1]
I went to your house, I knocked very hard
She won't wake up, I slept in the yard
A German and a Russian and a Frenchman do their best
The Frenchman had a breakdown so they gave it all a rest
You took a boat to Indochine and you partied in Saigon
But they followed him and they begged to him that they should carry on
[Chorus]
I just can't take it
I just can't fake it
I just can't break it to you
I just can't take it
I just can't break it to you
[Verse 2]
I slept at the bar, I'm not feeling fresh
I hear the roar of fighter jets
[Verse 3]
I went to your house, they bulldozed it down
I danced at a barn, but you weren't around
Lying on my back, little ground has come to feed
I tightened up my neck tie 'lest the brownies make me bleed
I thought of my inheritance I did receive today
A few drops for my troubles and a thing for Morgan le Fay
[Chorus]
I just can't take it
I just can't fake it
I just can't break it to you
I just can't take it
I just can't break it to you
I just can't take it
I just can't fake it
I just can't break it to you
I just can't take it
I just can't break it to you
I just can't take it
I just can't fake it
I just can't break it to you
I just can't take it
I just can't break it to you
