The Breaking Point

Bobby Darin

Compositor: Paul Francis Webster / Pete King

I've reached the breakin' point
Don't stand too close to me
For when my optic nerves
Observe your curves
Then suddenly …
I wanna crush you close
I wanna hold you tight
I wanna kiss and tell the world
I fell in love tonight.

'cause I got to have you
Got to get through to you baby
That you're mine, mine, mine.

I have reached the breakin' point
The point of no return
It's very clear to see
A fool like me
Will never ever learn …
I have reached the breakin' point
I hear the drums of doom
I'm gonna flip my wig
In one great big atomic boom.

'cause I got to have you
Got to get through to you baby
That you're mine, mine, mine.

All at once there's this big upheaval
That fills my heart full of dreams
All at once comes the urge primeval
And I come apart at the seams …

Oh … here I go again
The same old song and dance
I've had my share of tea and sympathy
But … no romance.

I've reached my breakin' point
It's much too late to stop
It's either shoes and rice
Or lose the dice
And blow my top.

'cause I got to have you
Got to get through to you baby
That you're mine, mine, mine.

All at once there's this big upheaval
That fills my heart so full of dreams
All at once comes the urge primeval
And I fall apart at the seams …

Oh … here I go again
That same old song and dance
I've had my share of tea and sympathy
But … no romance.

I've reached my breakin' point
It's much too late to stop
It's either shoes and rice
And lose the dice
Or blow my top.

'cause I got to have you
Got to get near to you baby
You're mine …
Oh … all mine …
