Brother said: Stop all your noise.
Breakaway, a-ha breakaway [2x]
Papa said: Ain't working harder
Better stay and work through the night.
Come over here and sit in my lap now,
You might get a rise if you do what is right.
Breakaway, a-ha breakaway [2x]
Got to tear off your chains,
Pull up your roots,
Pack up your money,
And put on back your boots and breakaway.
Breakaway, a-ha breakaway
Stand up boy, down at the disco,
Say I like you, will you dance on with me,
Say I love you, you're the girl I've been wanting,
Maybe some day you can marry me.
Breakaway, a-ha breakaway [2x]
Got to tear off your chains,
Pull up your roots,
Pack up your money,
And put on back your boots and breakaway.
Breakaway, a-ha breakaway [3x]
Got to tear off your chains,
Pull up your roots,
Pack up your money,
And put on back your boots and breakaway.
Breakaway, a-ha breakaway [5x]
