(close The Door) Take Your Heart Lyrics - Linda Lewis

(Allee Willis, David Lasley) 

Let it go without a word 

Or you won't deny the whispering 

That I have heard 

Here I am alone with me 

And all the lies you told me 

Won't change what I see 

Close the door and take your heart 

While I'm strong enough to make another start 

Oh oh, leave my pride and take your heart 

Give it to whoever is in your arms 

Yeah, take your heart 

Take it 

To the world, nothing's changed 

But I'd rather be a stranger 

And avoid the pain 

Use me up, let me down 

And when you need affection, 

I'm nowhere around 

Close the door and take your heart 

While I'm strong enough to make another start 

Oh oh, leave my pride and take your heart 

Give it to whoever is in your arms 

Yeah, take your heart 

Take it 

Maybe one day things will change 

But for now there is only one thing I can say 

Close the door and take your heart 

While I'm strong enough to make another start 

Leave my pride and take your heart 

Give it to whoever is in your arms 

[repeat 3x until fade]
