(chapin hartford)



Let me tell you a little somethin' 'bout this heart of mine

I ain't gonna try to make it smile when it's really cryin'

And i won't tell you that i love you when i'm mad

But i won't tell you that i hate you, you can't get that bad



I'll give you my love

Well most of the time

All my affection

And a little piece of my mind

Some of my money

And a key to my car

But i'm gonna be the bossa' my heart, bossa' my heart

I'm gonna be the bossa' my heart



Now don't get me wrong 'cause baby you're the only one

If i seem a little cold it's from the storm i've come from

I have a history of missing the obvious

I nearly froze in a blinding love, i won't let that happen to us



I'll give you my love

Well most of the time

All my affection

And a little piece of my mind

Some of my money

And a key to my car

But i'm gonna be the bossa' my heart, bossa' my heart

I'm gonna be the bossa' my heart



I'm gonna let you be

The bossa' who

Watches the money, picks out the restaurants

Honey you do what you want

Yes you can

Be the main man

When it comes to the practical things that living can bring

I'm putty in your hands

But let me get one thing straight before we start



I'm gonna be the bossa' my heart, bossa' my heart i'm gonna be the bossa' my heart
