The band is led by British journeyman rocker Mick Jones (former member of Nero and the Gladiators, Spooky Tooth, and The Leslie West Band) who in early 1976 met with ex-King Crimson member Ian McDonald and formed Foreigner with Lou Gramm of Rochester, NY - As three other musicians who were all unknown at the time to form a sextet. The band's debut album Foreigner sold more than four million copies in the United States and stayed in the Top Twenty for a year with such hits as "Feels Like the First Time", "Cold as Ice", and "Long Long Way From Home". Their sophomore effort, Double Vision, topped their previous selling five million records and spawned "Hot Blooded" and title track "Double Vision". The third album Head Games was also successful due to the thunderous "Dirty White Boy" and another title track hit "Head Games". 1980 brought personnel changes so that now the band was a quartet and Rick Wills played bass.

Break It Up Lyrics

Foreigner

Made myself a prisoner
I locked myself away
Cant remember the last time
I saw the light of day
Dont want to face life
Feel Ive been betrayed
I want you tell me
Where our love went astray
So cant you wait one more minute
Why cant you wait one more day
Lets get it straight
cause its a big mistake
We better think about it
I dont want to break it up
Why do we have to break it up?
Never ever want to break it up oh no
I only wanna make it up tonight
You say youve thought about it
But you sound so cold
You make it look like our love
Can be bought or sold
You wont listen
You say its way too late
That something is missing
And now you just cant wait
Why cant you wait one more minute?
Why cant you wait? give me one more day
Lets get it straight
This is a big mistake
We better think about it
I dont want to break it up
Why do we have to break it up?
Never ever want to break it up
Ooh no, I only wanna make it up tonight
So dont say break it up, break it up
I wanna hear you say well make it up, make it up
I dont want to break it up
Oh baby, why cant we make it up tonight?
Make it up tonight, make it up tonight
And I ask myself
Whats wrong with me?
How could I be so blind?
I know she tried to give me everything
But I still couldnt see
Now as I watch our love slip away
Im begging you, begging you, please
Dont break it up, break it up
Take a little time and make it up, make it up
I dont want to break it up
Oh no, I only wanna make it up tonight
I dont want to break it up
Baby let me make it up
Oh no no, no no
I, dont break it up, no no
Tonight, make it up, make it up
Ooh yeah, make it up, make it up
