sure took your time
i´ve been waiting here so long
but you keep tellin´ me
to just hold on

but now your back
but you´ll be leavin´ me again
oh i just want your love
but you just need a friend

and with a wounded heart
you come to me
for a best friend´s advice
and sympathy

oh if i could
keep one heart from breakin´
keep one heart from makin´
a big mistake
it´d be yours

oh if i could
keep one heart from breakin´
keep one heart from makin´
if i could keep
one heart
it´d be yours

stop standin´ there
won´t you open up your mind
darlin´ don´t you take too long
because my heart´s on the line

just close your eyes
and think of you and i alone
and how i´ve wanted you
and how my love for you has grown

if i could have one wish
i´d set you free
from you holdin´ him
instead of me
oh if i could
keep one heart from breakin´
keep one heart from makin´
a big mistake
it´d be yours

oh if i could
keep one heart from breakin´
keep one heart from makin´
if i could keep
one heart
it´d be yours
