HALF OF MY HEART
(Barry White / Don George)

as recorded by
Emile Ford & The Checkmates
1961


Half of my heart is happy,
Half of my heart is blue.
Sometimes I think that you don't love me,
Though you say you do!

Half of the time you leave me,
Half of the time you stay.
I try not to think of what you're doing
While you're away!

Maybe you care too little
And maybe I care too much.
I only know my heart keeps bleeding,
Needing your touch!

Half of my heart says "Stay here!",
Half of my heart says "Run!".
Still, when you love somebody,
Half a love is better than none!

Half of my heart says "Stay here!",
Half of my heart says "Run!".
Still, when you love somebody,
Half a love is better than none!
