Breaking up is hard to do


Don't take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery¹
If you go then I'll be blue
'Cause breaking up his hard to do

Remember when you held me tight
And you kissed me all through the night
Think of all that we've been through
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again

Can't we give our love another try
Come on baby, let's start a new

6、If Neil Sedaka had been born a bit earlier, he probably would have felt quite at home as a straight Tin Pan Alley³ tunesmith. Rock and roll had taken over by 1960, though, so he made a niche⁵ for himself as one of the Brill Building's most pop-oriented writers. Unlike most of the Brill Building heavyweights, he sang most of his hit records (which were composed in association with Howard Greenfield). And he had a lot of them in the late '50s and early '60s: "Oh Carol," "The Diary," "Stairway to Heaven," "Calendar Girl," "Next Door to an Angel," and "Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen." "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do," a number one hit in 1962, was probably his best-known tune⁴.
