Have a 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.
Hey!
Shut up.
Don't lie to me.
You think i'm blind but i've got eyes to see
Hey!
Mister, how do you do.
Oh pardon me i thought i knew you.
Would you stand back baby 'cause i want to get a better look.
The big man who couldn't handle the little bit of love you took.
Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while i fall apart.
Oh darling, i love you so.
I told you yes, and then you told me no.
Baby, how can you say
You should be free and i should pay and pay
And you talk and talk about you and what you need
But sooner or later your love is gonna make me bleed.
Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while i fall apart.
Oh, oh.
Talk on, talk on, but love is what you need.
And sooner or later that love is gonna make you bleed.
Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while i fall apart.
But don't you run away baby.
