GIVE ME BACK MY HEART (Anka)
(Paul Anka)

Paul Anka
recorded 1962


Oh, give me back my heart my love,
It's the only one I own,
Without it, deep inside of me
I'm lost and all alone.

Now that all is over and you've found somebody new,
There is just one favour I must ask of you.
Just this once, be good to me before the teardrops start,
I beg of you my darling, give me back my heart!

Oh, give me back my heart my love,
It's the only one I own,
Without it, deep inside of me
I'm lost and all alone.
I understand just how you feel
And why we had to part,
So understand me as I do you,
Give me back my heart!

I remember how we loved and all the plans we made;
Like the evening sunset, all our dreams must fade.
I remember oh so well, it seems like yesterday,
But now that all is over, there's something I must say;

Oh, give me back my heart my love,
It's the only one I own,
Without it, deep inside of me
I'm lost and all alone.
I understand just how you feel
And why we had to part,
So understand me as I do you,
And give me back my heart, heart, heart, heart, heart!
