Lyrics

Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kind

Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off me
Honey when you knock on my door
I gave you my key

Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart

So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart

And nobody told us
`Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us babe
I think we can make it, so don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights

Runt: Don't go breaking my heart
Foxy: I couldn't if I tried
Runt: Oh, honey, if I get restless
Foxy: Baby you're not that kind

Runt and Foxy: Nobody knows it
Runt: When I was down
Foxy: I was your clown
(Oooh)
Chicken Little: Nobody knows it (Nobody knows)
Right from the start
Buck Cluck: I gave you my heart

Ahhh
I gave you my heart

Runt: Don't go breaking my heart
Foxy: I won't go breaking your heart
Little and Abby: Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my heart

Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my
Turkey Lurkey: I won't go breaking your heart

Mr. Woolensworth: Don't go breaking my (Baa)
Don't go breaking my (Baa)
Foxy: Don't go breaking my heart
(Don't go breaking my)
(spoken) Come on, Runt! You can do it!

Runt: Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heart

Ensemble: Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heart

Chicken Little: You gotta act quickly, Dad. Try this.

Buck Cluck: Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heart
(Don't go breaking my)
I'm having fun now!
(Don't go breaking my)
Ensemble: Don't go breaking my heart

Runt: (spoken) That was great! Let's sing it again!
