Don't let them get the best

Of your heart leave the rest

Up to love and you'll be takin care of



Many come to try to tear away your heart

Never carin' for you from the very start

Still you wonder if this time could be real

Tryin' to figure out if they came just to steal



Don't let them get the best

Of your heart leave the rest

Up to love and you'll be takin care of



Time and time again you've listened to a smile

Never knowin' what's behind it all the while

You give yourself away until love is gone

And don't consider that they might be doin' harm



Don't let them get the best

Of your heart leave the rest

Up to love and you'll be takin care of



Hey there, you let him wipe away that little tear

You tryin so hard to hold back what you really feel

Always look inside the people that your with

And never hang around those who can not give
