Your Not What I Want Not What I need

Not What I Want Not What I Need 1963 (Ca)

Ballad
I gave up my heart just yesterday
all of my freedom  tossed it away
I still got my morals my standards i part
cause you just took over the loneliest heart.

You spaded my heart diamonds do lead
your all that I want all that I need

Please spare me the pain
Im not into games But if I play
I'm playing for keeps
So if I'm just a lay and you dont plan to stay
lets fold and be on our way

I spaded your heart diamonds don't lead
your'e not what I want Not what I need.
