Make You, Break You Songtext
von Gerry Rafferty

Many times I′ve seen you
Each time you always act the same
You've got everything you′ll ever need
On that we're all agreed
I really do believe
Butter wouldn't melt in your mouth

You started out saying that you knew me
But I had never known anyone like you
You said we thought the same
So I just played the game
I really didn′t mind
′Cause I knew that I was winning all the way


Yeah, it takes all long to make you
But a whole lot less to break you
Every time you try to act like a lady
You give yourself away
Yeah, it takes all long to make you
But a whole lot less to break you
'Cause every time I see you look into a mirror
I can tell just who you really are

Why don′t you take a look around you

Just try and see the other side

Maybe you'll find it strange
Or maybe you′d like to change
At least you would know
There are other people living in the world
You can't play the same old game forever
Someone will surely cut you down
So if you′re gonna stay around
Get your feet back on the ground
Find your direction
Follow it all the way


Yeah, it takes all long to make you
But a whole lot less to break you
Every time you try to act like a lady
You give yourself away
Yeah, it takes all long to make you
But a whole lot less to break you
'Cause every time I see you look into a mirror
I can tell just who you really are

Many times I've seen you
Each time you always act the same
You′ve got everything you′ll ever need
On that we're all agreed
I really do believe
Butter wouldn′t melt in your mouth

You've got everything you′ll ever need
On that we're all agreed
I really do believe
Butter wouldn′t melt in your mouth

It takes all long to make you
But a whole lot less to break you
Every time you try to act like a lady
You give yourself away
Yeah, it takes all long to make you
But a whole lot less to break you
'Cause every time I see you look into a mirror
I can tell just who you really are
