(How do I tell my heart not to break?)

Today I met you on the street,
I smiled at you and then I tried to speak,
But you just turned around and walked away!
Tell me, what could I do, oh what can I say,
How do I tell my heart not to break?

On down the street, I saw you run to him, (run to him)
He seemed so happy holdin' you again;
How many times will he kiss you tonight?
Tell me, what could I do, oh what could I say,
How do I tell my heart not to break?

I know how to tell my eyes to stop crying, (crying)
I know how to tell my hands not to shake.
I know how to tell my friends not to be concerned,
But how do I tell, oh what do I say,
How do I tell my heart not to break?
Please don't break!
How do I tell my heart not to break?
