I prom ised
you gold,
but you got silver
And if you felt cold, I would shiver
I wasn't ready when you let me go
But baby, how could I know
it's over?
I should have seen the signs,
but I was blinded
I know you told me so,
but I wouldn't listen
You got to tell me what went wrong
I paid the price,
now it's gone forever
This heart is broken
My soul's left wasted
You give me lovin' for a while,
and then you take it
I stand here beggin', please tell me why
Just take the better part of love
and say goodbye
Found his letter in your book,
is he out there waiting?
You took me by surprise,
and now I'm burning
You should have hit me
so I could see
Somebody's calling and it's not for me,
it's over
This heart is broken,
my soul's left wasted
You give me loving for a while
and then you take it
I stand here begging, please tell me why
Take the better part of the love and sing
Oh, this heart is broken
And my soul's left wasted
You give me lovin' for a while
And then, and then, you take it
I stand here beggin'
And I wanna know why
Take the bet ter part of love
And say goodbye
Why just take the better part of love
and say goodbye?
Hey!
Cause you've broken this heart
Take this heart of mine,
take this heart of mine now
Oh! Yeah!
