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
