What Becomes of the Brokenhearted Songtext
von The Temptations

You know, love can be strange sometimes
As a man goes through life looking for that special someone
To stick by his side for a lifetime
Now and then, some of us
We struggle a little for that love thing that we seek
And what we wanna know right now is this

As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Whilst happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion

What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that′s now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, maybe

The roots of love grow all around
But for me, they come tumbling down (come tumbling down)
Every day, heartaches grow a little stronger
I can′t stand this pain much longer


I walk in shadows, searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight (no comfort in sight)
Hoping and praying for someone who cares
Always moving but going nowhere

What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, maybe

I′m searching though I don′t succeed
But someone else has a growing need (a growing need)
All is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that′s left is an unhappy ending

Now what becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed? (Oh no)
I know I′ve got to find some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care

I′ll be looking everyday (you know)
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I′ll find a way somehow
Got to find her, got to find her, got to find her
Oh, I′m searching


Got to find her, got to find her, got to find her
Oh, I'm searching
Got to find her, I need to find her, got to find her
Oh, I′m searching
Got to find her (I've been on my own too long, I need to find her)
Oh, I′m searching
Got to find her, got to find her, got to find her
Oh, I'm searching...
