Be Careful Of My Heart

Tracy Chapman

You and your sweet smile

You and your tantalizing ways

You and your honey lips

You and all the sweet things that they say

You and your wild wild ways

One day you just up and walked away



You left me hurting

But I can forgive you for that now

You taught me something

Something took half my life to learn

When you give all yourself away

Just tell them to be careful of your heart



Be careful of my heart, heart

Be careful of this heart of mine

Be careful of my heart, heart

It just might break and send some splinters flying

Be careful of my heart, heart

Be careful



You you you

You you you

You you you

Took my love

Thought you took it all



You you you

You you you

You you you

Took my love

And now you're gone



But I'm not breaking down

And I'm not falling apart

I just lost a little faith

When you broke my heart

Given a chance

I might try it again

But I wouldn't risk it all this time



I'd save

A little love for myself

Enough for my heart to mend

A little love for myself

One day I just might love again

One day some sweet smile might turn my head

One day I just might give all myself away

One day

One day

One day
