What's the Use of Breaking Up Lyrics

What's the use in breaking up
When you just turn around
And make up

Oh, you say you're tired
And you're uninspired
And you wanna leave me, oh, baby
The last time you felt that way
Girl, you left me for a whole day

Now then you call
Me on the telephone
In your sweet and
Your softest tone

You ask me what should we do
When you know all the time
That I'm crazy about you

(CHORUS)
What's the use in breaking up
When you just turn around
And make up, baby
What's the use in breaking up
When you just turn around
And make up

Listen, we had
The same conversation
Well, it couldn't have been
More than a week ago

I said, darling
You're breakin my heart
And I don't see how
I can take much more

I got up and
Walked out of the door
Walked on down to
The corner store

And by the time that
What I said sunk in
I turned right around
And came back again

(CHORUS)

Girl, I guess we do it
Cause it's such a groove
To find something that
You nearly do

Oh, baby
I love you, I swear
And ain't neither one
Of us going nowhere

(CHORUS)

You know that you
And I both started
And if we break up
We will be broken-hearted

And that I have always loved you
And I think the whole world of you
And every time, every time...

There are multiple artists called Jerry Butler:

1) Jerry Butler, Jr. (born December 8, 1939 in Sunflower, Mississippi) is an American soul singer also known as "The Ice Man" because of his cool demeanour while singing often intensely emotional lyrics.

Butler was dubbed the "Iceman" by a Philadelphia disc jockey while performing in a Philadelphia theater. However, Butler achieved what eluded many earlier Doo Wop groups during the 1950s and 1960s — longevity. Butler’s solo career had a string of hits, including "He Will Break Your Heart," "Moon River," "Make It Easy On Yourself," "Let It Be Me" (the Everly Brothers classic re-done as a duet with Betty Everett), "Brand New Me," "Ain’t Understanding Mellow," (duet with Brenda Lee Eager), and "Never Gonna Give You Up," followed by two hugely successful albums The Iceman Cometh in 1968 and Ice On Ice in 1970. The Iceman Cometh garnered Butler three Grammy nominations. Jerry Butler further made recordings for Philadelphia International Records in the 80's. His most noted song for the label was "Cooling Out"
