Take It to Heart

I know that you're afraid to love You've been hurt before Love broke your heart so you closed the door Now here I am outside your world Wishin' you'd let me in Give me half a chance to prove you wrong Baby, all your tears have come and gone Talkin' 'bout a brand new start Take it to heart, baby, believe it This love is so strong that it won't let you go Baby, hold on, you'll see Just how good it's gonna be It's gonna be here long as you need it Never take your world and tear it apart Take it to heart, baby You're gonna have to trust someone It's a shame if you don't Because it ain't no life living all alone Let me show you how to love again There's no broken heart that love won't mend Talkin' 'bout a brand new start I just want to be the one that'll be there by your side So take this love of mine, take it to heart Baby, believe it, this love is so strong, love is so strong, baby (love is a second chance to find all that we lost) (Love's always worth a try no matter what the cost) (I know you don't believe your tears have come and gone) (Give me but half a chance and I will prove you wrong) --- Take It to Heart - Michael McDonald
