Take This Heart of Mine - Joey Scarbury

Oo, you say you're feeling bad cause The least thing makes you cry Sounds like a real bad case Of a girl who needs a guy I think I know the perfect jewel One you ought to try Take a heart that's full of love On this you can rely If you need some quick reaction, take this heart of mine And if you need some satisfaction, take this heart of mine And if you're tired of being lonely, take this heart of mine I think I can help you if you'll only take this heart of mine I may not be a doctor who can cure your ills Goodbye to all those different drugs and hard-swallowed pills My remedy is older than the tale of Jack and Jill My prescription is the kind you love to have refilled Oh, medicine won't cure you Just leave you at the most The relief is only temporary Pretty soon will go But love can last a lifetime When two hearts are close Take as much as you want to There is no overdose

This heart of mine This heart of mine This heart of mine I see this vision somewhere in my mind Humanity and struggles, we got all these hills to climb This isn't working, maybe this one will Let's just keep practicing, we've got some time to kill I see them pushing, when them should be pull I see them hungry when I know them belly full, and Just like concrete, so hard, and so cold We all gon' need a little shelter from the storm And on your road to Zion Stop for the broken and battered, they're trying To break the mold, no storybook told To inherit the fire, you've gotta get burned All that we've learned, in the places we go When the world is too heavy, and lost all control... Leave all the things that would keep us down It's all loving now Nothing but loving now in this heart of mine In this heart of mine Yo, you think your trouble's what's in front of your face You think the danger is what? Whatever gets in your way You think the future's just one of your simple plans And then one day you stop, and maybe think again We don't have details on God, we don't know why we are here But in the darkness sometimes is when it's all really clear When the night is long, the morning always comes With all this questioning, answer it with your love And on your road to Zion Stop for the broken and battered, they're trying To break the mold, no storybook told To inherit the fire, you've gotta get burned All that we've learned, in the places we go When the world is too heavy, and lost all control Leave all the things that would keep us down It's all loving now Nothing but loving now in this heart of mine In this heart of mine Don't hold back if there are things you wanna say Can't take for granted when tomorrow is today Should have done something when you had the chance to take Won't mean nothing when tomorrow's yesterday I hear the people, and they're speaking up The message is that we need more love Bring us together now, to make our children proud Getting through these times, proving that we can make it out And on your road to Zion Stop for the broken and battered, they're trying To break the mold, no storybook told To inherit the fire, you've gotta get burned All that we've learned, in the places we go When the world is too heavy, and lost all control Leave all the things that would keep us down It's all loving now Nothing but loving now in this heart of mine It's all loving now Nothing but loving now It's all loving now Nothing but loving now It's all loving now Nothing but loving now It's all loving now, nothing but loving now in this heart of mine

It don't look like much It's nearly rusted shut But this heart of mine can hold a lot of love As broken as it's been You could make it good again This heart of mine can hold a lot of love This heart of mine Has been broken a thousand times It just don't know how to give up Whatever it's worth It could all be yours This heart of mine can hold a lot of love This heart of mine Has been broken a thousand times It just don't know how to give up Whatever it's worth It could all be yours This heart of mine can hold a lot of love Oh, this heart of mine can hold a lot of love

Ooh, this old heart of mine been broke a thousand times Each time you break away I think you're gone to stay Lonely nights that come, memories that flow Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside 'Cause each day that passes by, You've got me never knowin' if I'm comin' or goin' but I I love you-ou-ou, yes I do This old heart (ooh) darlin' is weak for you I love you-ou-ou, yes I do These old arms of mine miss having you around Make these tears inside start falling down Always with half a kiss, you remind me of what I miss Though I try to control myself Like a fool I start grinnin' 'cause my head starts spinnin' 'cause I I love you-ou-ou, yes I do This old heart (ooh) darlin' is weak for you I love you-ou-ou, yes I do I try hard to hide my hurt inside This old heart of mine always keeps me cryin' The way you're treatin' me leaves me incomplete You're here for the day, gone for the week But if you leave me a hundred times A hundred times I'll take you back I'm yours whenever you want me I'm not too proud to shout it, tell the world about it 'cause I I love you-ou-ou This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you I love you-ou-ou This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you I love you-ou-ou This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you

This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times. Each time you break away, I fear you've gone to stay. Lonely nights that come, memories that flow, bringing you back again, Hurting me more and more. Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel

If all is fair in love and war I haven't seen the score But it can't be either of those And all this time, thought I was in control But fate she held her own Even when I thought I chose Now the coldest day of winter Has made a home of my heart It burns a cold right through me Tearing me apart When did I lose you? It feels like such a crime When did I lose all The reasons for this rhyme So many questions burning In this heart of mine A thousand memories Of when and where Four walls and a rocking chair Our story sticking to my skin A dusty wind Blows through this broken frame Echoes of your name Shadows fall and night pours in Now the coldest day of winter Has made a home of a heart Says it plans to stay forever Just like you did at the start When did I lose you? It feels like such a crime When did I lose all The reasons for this rhyme So many questions burning In this heart of mine Now the coldest day of winter Is here and here to stay And it burns a cold right through me 'Round the heart you threw away When did I lose you? It feels like such a crime When did I lose all The reasons for this rhyme So many questions burning In this heart of mine
