Remember when we were hand in hand 
Remember we sealed it with a golden band 
Now your eyes don't meet mine 
You've got a pulse like fever 
Do I take you for a lover 
or just a deceiver? 

Simple is simple and plain is plain 
If you leave me now you won't come back again 
Oh, don't give up 
Don't renege on our love, 
Don't renege on our love 

Give me just an ounce of sympathy 
Give me my chains of liberty 
There's a rope that binds us 
And I don't want to break it 
If love is a healing 
Why should we forsake it? 
Hunger is hunger and need is need 
Am I just another mouth to feed? 
Oh, the game is up 
Don't renege on our love 
Don't renege on our love 

Remember when we were hand in hand 
Remember we sealed it with a golden band 
Now your eyes don't meet mine 
You've got a pulse like fever 
Do I take you for a lover 
or just a deceiver? 

When my heart breaks, it breaks like the weather 
If you leave me now it'll thunder forever 
Oh, don't give up 
Don't renege on our love 
Don't renege on our love 
Don't renege on our love
