I've got a broken heart. Do you have the thread and needle?
I just need a little bit of patchwork and I'll be fine. I promise!
Just had a rough run-in with love today, that's all.
Just a few stitches and I'll be back on my feet again,
Saying goodbye to boy number fifteen.
Chorus: "Take it to the repair shop and everything will be alright!"
That's what they said upon seeing me after that big fight.
And I'm not so sure anymore that their ideas are right,
But take me to the repair shop 'cuz I'm finding out tonight.
I've got a broken bone. Do you have the dry wall with you?
Just plaster it on and I'll be able to walk again. I swear!
Said sticks and stones could break my bones but words could never hurt me.
Words threw a hammer at my leg and proved me wrong.
But I'll be ready when it comes to round two!
Chorus
I've got a busted head. Do you have the tape at the ready?
Just wrap it all around and I'll think again. You'll see!
They gave me a penny for my thoughts, and I tried real hard to think,
But the penny hit me in the head and knocked the thoughts right out.
But at least I have a penny saved in the bank.
Chorus
I've got a broken heart, and I've got a broken bone,
And I've got a busted head and I'm ready for some help right now!
And I know what they say. They say it'll all be ok.
Just try again and leave things where they lay.
But that doesn't sound right to me at all!
No not now, not then, no. No way, no how.
So take me to the repair shop 'cuz I need some help tonight.

"I've got a broken heart, and I've got broken bone," - perhaps supposed to be "a" broken bone?
"And I know what they say. they say it'll be ok."- "they" should be capitalized.
Otherwise it's an interesting piece, with good movement through the whole thing. -

Thanks! I didn't notice those mistakes. I guess I should proofread more thoroughly next time.
