Lyrics
- We had so much to live for
So much in view
Our love was like an endless song
The future looked so rosy
For me and you
Then some little something went wrong
Chorus
What made us say we’re through?
What broke our hearts in two?
One little quarrel over nothing at all
What made our teardrops start?
What keeps us both apart?
One little quarrel over nothing at all
Ever since those angry words were spoken
My heart’s filled with pain
Ever since the vows we made were broken
I’m not the same
Our dreams are all upset
Why can’t we both forget
One little quarrel over nothing at all?
- Oh, how I’ve missed you, sweetheart
Oh, how I’ve cried
Since we broke up our love affair
No matter who’s to blame, dear
Let’s hide our pride
After all, you know, we still care
