這週老師教的英文老歌是Neil Sedaka一首家喻戶曉的老歌Breaking Up Is Hard To Do，節奏輕快，情詞懇切，歌者細訴昔日兩情繾綣的甜蜜時光，懇求對方回頭，不要輕言分手。
這首歌曾得過Billboard告示牌流行榜冠軍寶座，後來沙達卡把原本帶有古典情調的此首歌，以藍調風味來詮釋,又打進排行榜TOP 10的紀錄。Carpenters 和Elvis Presley都翻唱過這首歌，最近 Renee Olstead & Peter Cincotti 以爵士樂翻唱這首歌，浪漫的情韻， 和諧的曲調，沉醉其中，我心已醉。
現已80歲的Neil Sedaka是50-70年代很受歡迎的美國著名流行歌手、鋼琴家和詞曲創作者，擁有茱莉亞音樂學院古典鋼琴背景,曾創作了500多首好聽的歌，其中 Oh Carol Carol、One Way Ticket、Calendar Girl， Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen，Laughter in the Rain，相信是大家都能朗朗上口的老歌。
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Doo doo doo down doo bee doo dah down
Come, come down doo bee doo dah down
Come, come down doo bee doo dah down
Breaking up is hard to do
Tell me that you'releaving
I can't believe it's ture
Girl' there's just no livingwithout you
Don't take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery[ˋmɪzərɪ]
If you go then I'll be blue
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
Remember when you held me tight
And you kissed me all through the night
Think of all that we've been through
And breaking up is hard to do
They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again
I beg of you, don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love another try
Come on baby, let's start a new
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again
I beg of you, don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love another try
Come on baby, let's start a new
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
Can't we give our love just one more try
Come on baby, let's start a new
'Cause breaking up is so hard to do
breaking up is so so hard to do
Doo doo doo down doo bee doo dah down
Come, come down doo bee doo dah down
Come, come down doo bee doo dah down
Come, come down doo bee doo dah down
Come, come down doo bee doo dah down
