It's a dangerous world we live in
Crime is everywhere
There's always some sad story going down

You can read it in the paper
You can see it on the air
It's 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

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

There's 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 don't call it a crime of passion
But it kills you just the same
It's 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 you've got someone who loves you
Be careful all the time
Do you know where your love is tonight
Cause there's always someone trying
To find the perfect crime
And you never know just when
They'll strike

So you better watch your woman
And you better watch your man
Cause no one's safe when love's at stake
Anybody's heart can break

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