(The Best Part Of) Breakin’ Up Lyrics By The Ronettes

    baby when we break up from a quarrel or a fight
    i can’t wait to have you back and hold you oh so tight
    tell me why tell me why i wanna know i wanna know
    tell me why tell me why is it so is it so

    that the best part of breaking up is when you’re making up
    tell me why
    best part of breaking up is when you’re making up
    i wanna know
    but after breaking up be sure you’re making up with me

    every time you leave i get those teardrops in my eyes
    but they seem to go away when you apologize
    tell me why tell me why i wanna know i wanna know
    tell me why tell me why is it so is it so

    that the best part of breaking up is when you’re making up
    tell me why
    best part of breaking up is when you’re making up
    i wanna know
    but after breaking up be sure you’re making up with me

    come on baby
    come on baby
    don’t say maybe
    well it makes no difference who was wrong
    just as long as i’ll be with you

    baby i’ll be lonely ’til you’re back where you should be
    ’cause baby i belong to you and you belong to me
    tell me why tell me why i wanna know i wanna know
    tell me why tell me why is it so is it so

    that the best part of breaking up is when you’re making up
    tell me why
    best part of breaking up is when you’re making up
    i wanna know
    but after breaking up be sure you’re making up with

    the best part of breaking up is when you know that you’re making up with me

    come on baby
    come home baby
    don’t say maybe
    come on baby
    ooh wee baby
    come on baby
    don’t say maybe
    come on baby
