If I give you my heart would you love me forever? Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall? I learned when I was a young girl You turn your cheek, you get slapped I take the punches I can't slip And I give 'em right back Oh, even if I win, boy You know it really won't mean too much What I want, baby, most of all Is the kind of thing I can't touch If I give you my heart would you love me forever? Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall? If my world falls apart would you keep it together? If I can't have you, I don't want no one at all Just because I'm so quiet Just because I don't cry The hardest lesson to learn, boy Is how to take it inside There's leather and jewels to soothe me But it isn't really what I need There's an aching hurt inside of me It's the kind of thing you don't see, oh If I give you my heart would you love me forever? Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall? If my world falls apart would you keep it together? If I can't have you, I don't want no one at all Now the years are unwinding But I still feel the hurt 'Cause I've been fighting my whole life For the privilege to work I've stopped and looked around me And there's nobody left to blame If I don't have you to hold me, boy Then all my work's in vain, oh If I give you my heart would you love me forever? Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall? If my world falls apart would you keep it together? If I can't have you, I don't want no one at all If I give you my heart would you love me forever? Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall? If my world falls apart would you keep it together? If I can't have you, I don't want no one at all If I give you my heart Would you love me forever? If I give you my heart Would you love me forever?
