The Bit By Bit Song

INTRO: Bit by bit, he broke my heart. Bit by bit, I was so young Bit by bit, he was so smart. Bit by bit, my baby broke my heart. VERSE 1 I was blind, I could not see he was using me. He said sweet words to me. I thought that we would never part. REFRAIN: Bit by bit, he broke my heart. Bit by bit, I was so young Bit by bit, he was so smart. Bit by bit, my baby broke my heart. VERSE 2 Bit by bit he cut me down. With sharp words and frozen frown. Our love did fade into the shade. Bit by bit my baby broke my heart. REFRAIN: Bit by bit, he broke my heart. Bit by bit, I was so young Bit by bit, he was so smart. Bit by bit, my baby broke my heart. VERSE 3 Bit by bit our love was lost. Broken hearts would be the cost. I was weak. Doubt came to creep. Bit by bit my baby broke my heart. VERSE 4 Bit by bit I saw the light. His bad love not worth the fight. A new love soon tempted me. Bit by bit I broke my baby's heart. VERSE 5 Bit by bit I broke his heart. He thought we would never part. He thought he was very smart. Bit by bit I broke my baby's heart. VERSE 6 Bit by bit I broke his heart Bit by bit, I broke his heart Bit by bit, I broke my baby's heart. I broke my baby's heart. By: Carole O'Terry Duet Copyright: 10/15/2017 "All Rights Reserved"

Very cool song, Carole! Smooth flow ... me like, me like it a lot. Do you sing your own lyrics? If so, would love to hear your voice. This song is boss, it swings w/sass. Lovely lyric poem. Love and smiles forever.

Hi Freddie! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. And, "no", I don't sing. My voice is just not what it used to be...but I try anyway in the shower. Lol

Great lyric, fits the song perfectly, nice when you have a song in mind, makes it easier to formulate lyrics, can't beat Cher she's a force of nature!

Thanks, John. Yes, it is easier that way. I don't know why that song popped into my head one morning as soon as I woke up. My muse hits me that way sometimes. :D
