Got no money... Talk to my dream... Time after time I've tried to walk away. Uh, uh, uh, and you don't break my heart. Time after time I've tried to walk away. Uh, uh, uh. Time after time I've tried to walk away. Uh, uh, uh, and you don't break my heart. Time after time I've tried to walk away. Uh, uh, uh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Time after time I've tried to walk away. Uh, uh, uh, and you don't break my heart. Time after time I've tried to walk away. Uh, uh, uh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah
