Lyrics
Big Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Listen to me before you leave, I've got something to say to you
One thing I know, I've got good eyes, I don't like what I see
Just like a V8 under the hood
Of a cat made of nails and wood
Your big heart's gonna break your little body
You light the lamp, I follow you down, I stand right by your side
Out in the dark, it's bitter, it's cold, I don't much like this ride
Sometimes the motor never can stop
Sometimes the wine overrunneth the cup
Your big heart's gonna break your little body
Everyone's asleep, you're still awake
You know you give more than I can take
Your big heart's gonna break your little body
