Ronettes, The - (The Best Part Of) Breakin' Up Lyrics






Baby when we break up from a quarrel or a fight
I can't wait to have you back and hold you, oh, so tight
Tell me why, I wanna know, tell me why, is it so
That the best part of breaking up is when you're making up
Best part of breaking up is when you're making up
But after breaking up be sure you're making up with me

Everytime you leave I get those teardrops in my eyes
But they seem to go away when you apologize
Tell me why, I want to know, tell me why, is it so
That the best part of breaking up is when you're making up
Best part of breaking up is when you're making up
But after breaking up be sure you're making up with me

Come on baby,
Come on baby,
Don't say maybe
Well it makes no difference who was wrong
Just as long as I'll be with you

Baby I'll be lonely till you're back where you should be
'Cause baby I belong to you and you belong to me
Tell me why, I want to know, tell me why, is it so
That the best part of breaking up is when you're making up
Best part of breaking up is when you're making up
But after breaking up, be sure you're making up with me
The best part of breaking up is when you know that you're making up with me

Come on baby,
Come on baby,
Don't say maybe
Come on baby, woo wee baby, come on baby

Ronettes, The (The Best Part Of) Breakin' Up Comments
  1. T.... F....

    Is folgers in my cup. And gravy on the plate. Or not.?

  2. B.... ....

    Without Spector and the Ronnettes there would be no Beach Boys and Supremes. Hugely influential. NY Legends!

  3. J.... H....

    When she says “come on baby”, mama mia. If you are not stirred, you might be dead......

  4. I.... A....

    Love the 60’s vibe
    Makes me want to lose a war in a jungle at the edge of the world

    I.... A....

    Lol. 6 0 s a e s t h e t i c

  5. D.... ....

    Still listening in 2019 :-)

  6. m.... ....

    Spector wouldn't let Ronnie tour with the Beatles with the other girls.

  7. J.... K....

    Brian Wilson Idolised Phil Spector and his studio production techniques and used Spectors sound on sound mixing techniques.

  8. K.... J....

    Spector is just savage on this one. It’s majestic. The Ronettes look so adorable.

  9. C.... C....

    Good old Phil Spector, now producing a remake by his prison band called Phil and the Lifers, now retitled The Best Part of Breaking Out.

  10. M.... A....

    One of my favorite bass lines ever

  11. l.... t....

    Phil spector
    Mad as a bag of frogs
    Knew his music though

  12. N.... A....

    I'm 20 and I'm here! I love this music

  13. S.... _....

    Did this song inspire the Folgers commercial song? Any1? Any1? Bueller? Bueller?

  14. S.... G....

    This song reminds me of that old Folgers Coffee commercial when they say, "THE BEST PART OF WAKING UUUP, IS FOLGERS IN YOUR CUUUP!"

    The Folgers Coffee people had to get that idea from this song, lol.

    S.... G....

    According to the Wikipedia entry for this song, the "Folger's Coffee people," as you call them, used this song as the influence for that campaign.

  15. t.... d....

    I like the 60's hair-do's.

  16. L.... T....

    Karim Debbache, Crossed sur Alone in the Dark, chanson de fin.

  17. M.... g....

    back chorus very good

  18. C.... H....

    I think this song would sound much better slowed down to more of a ballad sound. It would have been incredibly sexy.

  19. M.... ....

    the best
    i love ronnie

  20. t.... f....

    I shut my eyes, and I'm dancing with Betty L. again, and it's 1964 all over again. I can dream can't I?

  21. v.... ....

    Sexiest record they ever made.

    v.... ....

    vp81955 oh yeah!

  22. G.... ....

    I love the backing vocals.

  23. R.... V....

    Well, I gave it a shot. Thought I would hear some uninterrupted music but lengthy commercials between each song, no.

  24. W.... ....

    " COME ON, BABY !! " ----------OMG !!! ----------------------WolfSky9

  25. W.... ....

    What a masterpiece this is !!! ------Barely cracked the Top 10 in Denver, on KIMN 950AM. ---------------WolfSky9

  26. R.... G....

    One of the best!

  27. V.... l....

    I'm 29,and I wish music still had soul like this,I love it,y'all were lucky to have so many soulful bands around,thank y'all keep rocking

  28. B.... C....

    Just heard a version of this on local radio by a group called the Teasers, it is fantastic. Ive searched all over and can find nothing about them or the recording. If anyone here can help would be great.

  29. T.... B....

    The deep background harmonies have a Beach Boys flavor to it

    T.... B....

    2 members of the background singers were Cherlyn LaPierre, & Salvatore Bono. ----------------------Wolfsky9

    T.... B....

    it's more the Beach Boys who get inspired by Spector

    T.... B....

    @Wolfsky9 Wow, didn't know that. Sonny & Cher...

  30. D.... S....

    This still my favorite Ronettes song and at 72 years of age I am still listening. I still have their first release album on vinyl.

    D.... S....

    p.s. I'm 56

    D.... S....

    Doc Savage; You have very good taste Sir. I know this is a year down the road from when you posted but, at 73 years old, they're still my favorite girl group.

    D.... S....

    Heck, I'm only 71! Lock up da women! Hands down the most amazing and beautiful of the girl groups. If all the beautiful talented women in the world were put together in a blender they would come out as Ronnie! "I still melt to "Comeon' Baby"

    D.... S....

    I agree the Ronettes are the best! Their talent, and beauty, transcend the zeitgeist of early 60s pop.

    D.... S....

    me too at 73. their harmony is super.

  31. C.... V....

    The best part of a breakup is definitely makingup😙😊
    I don't think I have to tell you why.

  32. t.... ....

    Just brilliant....

  33. d.... m....

    Got the back to mono 58-69 box set pure class !!

  34. V.... S....

    Spector was nuts but damn he made some great music!!!!

    V.... S....

    YES INDEED!

  35. A.... R....

    "Mellow Yellow" sounds a little like this song to me.

    A.... R....

    Akera Reese Yes, but how many of us blokes get aroused when thinking Donovan is singing directly to us ? What's that ? Loads of you do ? Sorry !!

  36. M.... ....
