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

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 slept at the bar, I'm not feeling fresh
I hear the roar of fighter jets

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

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
