Carole Duet Poet Lyric

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.
