Broken Hearts



A heart is not a play thing
a heart is not a toy,
but if you want it broken
just give it to a boy

You wonder where he is at night
you wonder if he´s true,
one moment you´ll be happy
the next you will be blue

And when it starts to happen
you worry day and night,
you see my friend in loving you
it never turns out right

Love is fun but hurts so much
the price you pay is high,
if I could choose between life & death
I think I´d rather die

My heart is yours forever
I hope you understand,
cuz I thought that when I gave my heart
I gave it to a man

So when I say don´t fall in love
you´ll hurt before you´re through,
you see my friend I ought to know
cuz I fell in love with you
