Be Careful Of My Heart Lyrics
Tracy Chapman
Lyrics
You and your sweet smile
you and your tantalizing ways
you and your honey lips
you and all the sweet things that they say
you and your wild wild ways
one day you just up and walked away
You left me hurting
but i can forgive you for that now
you taught me something
something took half my life to learn
when you give all yourself away
just tell them to be careful of your heart
be careful of my heart, heart
be careful of this heart of mine
be careful of my heart, heart
it just might break and send some splinters flying
be careful of my heart, heart
be careful
you you you
you you you
you you you
took my love
thought you took it all
you you you
you you you
you you you
took my love
and now you're gone
But i'm not breaking down
and i'm not falling apart
i just lost a little faith
when you broke my heart
given a chance
i might try it again
but i wouldn't risk it all this time
i'd save
a little love for myself
enough for my heart to mend
a little love for myself
one day i just might love again
one day some sweet smile might turn my head
one day i just might give all myself away
one day
one day
one day
