Origineel
Little by little
You’re breaking me down
Slowly but surely
You got me turning around
Like a rock in the river
Shaped by the flow oh yeah
Open up my heart babe
I’m breaking down slow
I tried to fight
There ain’t no use
No way to hide it
The truth is the truth
You got me tumbling
In love’s undertow
Oh yeah
I think I’m falling in love with you babe
I’m breaking down slow
You’re breaking me down slow
From the walls that surround me
The feeling gets stronger
When you arms are ‘round me
At first I didn’t want to
Now I want you so
My heart is open
You’re breaking me down slow
Oh yeah
My heart is open baby
You’re breaking down slow
Oh yes you are
My heart is open
And breaking down slow
Oh yeah
Lord, please have mercy
Lord, please have mercy
You’re breaking me down
Breaking me down
Just keep on loving me baby
If you just keep on loving me yeah
You’re breaking me down
Vertaling
Beetje bij beetje
Je breekt me af
Langzaam maar zeker
Je laat me omdraaien
Als een rots in de rivier
Gevormd door de stroom oh ja
Open my heart babe
I’m breaking down slow
I tried to fight
There ain’t no use
No way to hide it
De waarheid is de waarheid
You got me tumbling
In love’s undertow
Oh ja
I think I’m falling in love with you babe
I’m breaking down slow
Je breekt me af slow
Van de muren die me omringen
Het gevoel wordt sterker
When you arms are ‘round me
Eerst wilde ik niet
Nu wil ik je zo graag
Mijn hart is open
You’re breaking me down slow
Oh yeah
Mijn hart is open baby
Je breekt me langzaam af
Oh ja dat doe je
Mijn hart is open
And breaking down slow
Oh yeah
Heer, heb genade
Heer, heb alstublieft genade
You’re breaking me down
Breaking me down
Just keep on loving me baby
If you just keep on loving me yeah
You’re breaking me down
