(lari white/john rotch)

i know what it is you´re tryin´
when you´re tryin´ to be so cool
everywhere you go you´re a romeo
with a smile and a line so smooth

but the trail of hearts lying in your wake
it looks like a six lane interstate
and there´s a big, bright, red light telling me tonight
not to slow down, get my heart out of sight

chorus:
so you won´t get the taste of this, not even a kiss
the fact your middle name is heartache ain´t no coincidence
you made a livin´ out of lovin´ and leavin´ ´em to fall apart
so now you better understand you´ll never lay a hand on one
itty bitty little single solitary piece o´ my heart

i know what it is you´re doin´
with all that cooin´ and a wooin´
but you can´t fool me, i got a degree
i learned a lot from hard knock schoolin´
well, i used to jump in wholehearted
every time a new love started
but it was just a chase, then replaced heart, thrown in my face
not any more, my love is to good to waste

(repeat chorus)

i said now you better understand, you´ll never lay a hand on one
itty bitty little single solitary piece o´ my heart
