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
