Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
I see a broken heart wearin’ my name
You’re handin’ me, sure as stars up above
Warmed over kisses, left over love
You’ve got another love you’re runnin’ to
You’ve been a-cheatin’ in some rendezvous
You’re handin’ me, sure as stars up above
Warmed over kisses, left over love
You say that I’m the only one
Oh how I wanted to be
But when I kiss your pretty lips
You got nothin’ left for ]me
You’ve gotta wanna be breakin’ my heart
I know we’ve gotta be driftin’ apart
You’re handin’ me, sure as stars up above
Warmed over kisses, left over love
You’re handin’ me, sure as stars up above
Warmed over kisses, ooo, left over love
