Young girl breakin’ a young boy’s heart
Turnin’ him into a work of art
Boy finds a way to make it on his own
Leavin’ that next young girl alone
‘Round and around and around it goes
Where it stops, nobody knows
Oh, but I can tell you just where it starts
With a young girl breakin’ a young boy’s heart

It was supposed to be a good night
Turned into a bar fight and
Ended with a car ride downtown
He was booked at the station
Asked for an explanation
Said, “Maybe I’m just wasted”
But he left this part out about

A young girl breakin’ a young boy’s heart
Turnin’ him into a work of art
Oh, and I can tell you just where it starts
With a young girl breaking a young boy’s heart

Now he’s tunin’ up backstage
Said he would be back late, but
Sadly, that day never came
And it’s lights up, curtains down
Travelin’ the world around
A million songs with a million sounds
But they’re really all the same about

A young girl breakin’ a young boy’s heart
Turnin’ him into a work of art
Boy finds a way to make it on his own
Leavin’ that next young girl alone
‘Round and around and around it goes
Where it stops, nobody knows
Oh, but I can tell you just where it starts
With a young girl breakin’ a young boy’s heart
Just a young girl breakin’ a young boy’s heart
With a young girl breakin’ a young boy’s heart
