Be Gentle With My Heart
By Nigel G Kettle
The left side of my heart is saying, follow your call.
But the right keeps saying, I'm riding for a fall.
Over the years, love has made me scared.
I've been deceived by people I thought cared.
Though you say you love me, I can't help wonder if it's true.
Understand, I must make sure before giving in to you.
I don't want to be the target of your game,
And later hurting with myself to blame.
Whoo, whoo, whoo.
----CHORUS----
I just don’t,
Oh, my baby, I don’t
Don’t wanna be hurt no more,
I don’t wanna be hurt no more.
My heart’s been broken,
Oh, my heart’s been broken
So many times before.
Oh, so many times before.
Whoo, whoo, whoo.
-----RAP----
I won’t know if you love me, unless I give you a try.
I can only hope the love you say you feel never dies.
So please, I beg you, be gentle with my heart.
If you don't love me, tell me from the start.
I don't want to hear tomorrow that you don't love me anymore,
So before you take me into careless hands, be sure.
I don't want to wake up someday to find you acting strange,
Only to discover that somehow your mind has changed.
----CHORUS----
I just don’t,
Oh, my baby, I don’t
Don’t wanna be hurt no more,
I don’t wanna be hurt no more.
My heart’s been broken,
Oh, my heart’s been broken
So many times before.
Oh, so many times before.
Whoo, whoo, whoo.
