Once I gave up my heart to a woman
She promised she was gonna do right
Then I gave up my love to another
She said she loved me day and night
They left me all alone and blue
I'm afraid the same thing will
nobody's gonna break my heart
But if I do, can I go for you?
I'm afraid you're gonna break it up,
break it in a thousand parts now
Yes, I gave up my money and I worked hard
For everything that I possessed,
Was her lovin' and just a little tenderness
But whoa, my, my, my, my, my, my soul
She left me all alone and blue
Same thing will happen with you,
For everything that I possessed
All I wanted from her was her lovin'
And just a little tenderness
But, whoa, my, my, my, my, my soul
She left me all alone and blue
I'm afraid, whoa, I'm afraid I'm afraid,
Same thing will happen with you, babe
You're gonna make me blue, babe
You're gonna dog me around, babe
Make me feel like a clown, babe
That's why I said no, babe
And I ain't playin', honey
