Reckless Kelly Lyrics
"Break My Heart Tonight"

(Willy Braun)

I got empty bottles and legal papers
Wrinkled up all over the floor
My pen won't write
And my guitar doesn't have a song in it anymore.

I can write another love song, yeah
But first you got to find someone to love
I could write another fight song, yeah
But there's got to be something to be proud of.

And they say misery love's company
But it damn sure ain't lookin' for me
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone
To break my heart tonight.

Going out walkin' on Avenue B
And I ain't comin' back until dawn
I'm gonna find some stranger in a Greenich bar
To shower my affection upon.

And maybe she'll stay 'til one fateful day
When we realize we've got nothin' left
And maybe I'll find she's messed up my mind
And I can get back to doing what I do best.

And they say misery love's company
But it damn sure ain't lookin' for me
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone
To break my heart tonight.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, all these A&R guys
They've beem knockin' on my door
I guess the last batch wasn't good enough
'Cause they keep on wanting more and more

And they say write what you know and it just goes to show
You gotta write your own destiny
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone
To break my heart tonight.

And they say misery love's company
But it damn sure ain't lookin' for me
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone
To break my heart tonight...
