Its a dangerous world we live in
Crime is everywhere
Theres always some sad story going down

You can read it in the paper
You can see it on the air
Its an evil epidemic going round

But nobody seems to notice
The saddest crime of all
Oh just how many times a day
Someone takes their love away
And the national statistics
Never put it in the chart
But every second someone breaks a heart

Theres a woman out there somewhere
Who feels she lost her life
But her man just shot her world down
And it hurts

Theres a guy who just got taken
And it cuts him like a knife
Some girl stole his heart and left him
Without a world

They dont call it a crime of passion
But it kills you just the same
Its murder when a true love dies
Right before your very eyes

And as soon as one is over
Another one will start
Every second someone breaks
Every second someone breaks a heart

If youve got someone who loves you
Be careful all the time
Do you know where your love is tonight
Cause theres always someone trying
To find the perfect crime
And you never know just when
Theyll strike

So you better watch your woman
And you better watch your man
Cause no ones safe when loves at stake
Anybodys heart can break

And the next time that it happens
Youre not the losing part
Every second someone breaks a heart
Every second someone breaks a heart
Every second someone breaks a heart
