[Chorus]
Take this heart of mine
Take it and keep it for yourself
Take this heart of mine
Before it finds its way
To the heart of someone else
[Verse 1]
Waiting for you
Waiting for the time when you settle down
Now isn't it true
It's usually the other way around
But I found you
And I'm getting so tired of waiting
Take me while I'm still here for the taking
[Chorus]
Take this heart of mine
Take it and keep it for yourself
Take this heart of mine
Before it finds its way
To the heart of someone else
[Verse 2]
You want me around
But you're keeping me a-waiting too long
There's no tying you down
You do what you do but the reasons are wrong
You want too much
Woah but I'm willing to give a lot
You're the only one I'm going after
[Bridge / Instrumental]
Take this heart
[Chorus]
Take this heart of mine
Take it and keep it for yourself
Take this heart of mine
Before it finds its way
To the heart of someone else
Take this heart of mine
Take it and keep it for yourself
Take this heart of mine
Before it finds its way
To the heart of someone else
Take this heart of mine
Take it and keep it for yourself...
Take this heart of mine
Take it and keep it for yourself
Take this heart of mine
Before it finds its way
To the heart of someone else
[Verse 1]
Waiting for you
Waiting for the time when you settle down
Now isn't it true
It's usually the other way around
But I found you
And I'm getting so tired of waiting
Take me while I'm still here for the taking
[Chorus]
Take this heart of mine
Take it and keep it for yourself
Take this heart of mine
Before it finds its way
To the heart of someone else
[Verse 2]
You want me around
But you're keeping me a-waiting too long
There's no tying you down
You do what you do but the reasons are wrong
You want too much
Woah but I'm willing to give a lot
You're the only one I'm going after
[Bridge / Instrumental]
Take this heart
[Chorus]
Take this heart of mine
Take it and keep it for yourself
Take this heart of mine
Before it finds its way
To the heart of someone else
Take this heart of mine
Take it and keep it for yourself
Take this heart of mine
Before it finds its way
To the heart of someone else
Take this heart of mine
Take it and keep it for yourself...
