  • Sitting here with a broken heart
    Wishin' you'd come home for
    Sitting here with breakin' hearts
    I just can't go on

    Oh!

    Grief has got a hold on me
    I can't think for myself
    It's all because that woman of mine
    Making love to someone else

    I'm turning green from being blue
    Without your face around
    You found another to do your lovin'
    And me you have put down
    And I'm

    Sitting here with a broken heart
    Wishin' you'd come home, 'cause
    Sitting here with breakin' hearts
    I just can't go on

    Ah!

    I'm trudging water all through the house
    I thought it was from my kitchen sink
    I phoned the plumber to rush right over
    And see if he could fix this leak

    He rushed right over and he took a look
    And much to my surprise
    He said "My son it's not your sink
    It's teardrops from your eyes"
    Oh!

    Sitting here with a broken heart
    Wishin' you'd come home for
    Sitting here with breakin' hearts
    I just can't go on

    You can't miss what you can't measure
    That's what he tried to make me see
    Love is around I know for sure
    What's in store for me

    Sitting here with a broken heart
    Wishin' you'd come home for
    Sitting here with breakin' hearts
    I just can't go on

    I chew my nails off one by one
    I only got one to go
    Unless I get what I been missin'
    Never had no more

    My nerves are shot, I smoke a lot
    In my loneliness
    And until I see your face once again
    My lonely heart won't rest
    And I'm

    Sitting here with a broken heart
    Wishin' you'd come home for
    Sitting here with breakin' hearts
    I just can't go on
    Sitting here with a broken heart
    Wishin' you'd come home for
    Sitting here with breakin' hearts
    I just can't go on

    You can't miss what you can't measure
    That's what he tried to make me see
    Love is around I know for sure
    What's in store for me
    You can't miss what you can't measure
    That's what he tried to make me see
    Love is around I know for sure
    What's in store for me
    You can't miss what you can't measure
    That's what he tried to make me see
    Love is around I know for sure
    What's in store for me Writer/s: George Jr. Clinton, S Barnes
