I

Café windows, street lamps

Neon lights ablaze that shine all over town

In brilliant conversation, with somebody new

He's out there showin' 'round

CHORUS

Please, heart, you're killing me

II

I'm lost among the faces

Where a sideways glance says romance on a whim

Pretty boys with blue eyes

Smilin' stylin' just reminding me of him

CHORUS

Please, heart, you're killing me

Please, heart, you're killing me

Can't go out at night
Can't stay here at home
Can't go anywhere
'Cause he'll be there
Can't get out of bed
Can't get any sleep
Can't do anything
What does he care?
Does he care?

III
Everywhere I turn, I see
The past jump out in front of me "hello"
Someone's got it in for me
This whole damn town has secrets I don't know

CHORUS
Please, heart, you're killing me
Please, heart, you're killing me

IV
Four a.m. I brave the cold
The garbage trucks are on a roll, "surprise",
A vision through the subway steam
I see him and I can't believe my eyes

CHORUS
Please, heart, you're killing me
Please, heart, you're killing me
You're killing me
You're killing me
You're killing me
Stop killing me
