PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY HEART
(Harry Robinson / Harvey White)

as recorded by Craig Douglas
1962


Though you say we'll never part,
I'm afraid to lose my heart!

Baby, I'm afraid to love you so,
You might taste my heart and then you'd go!
I'll give you all my lovin' so willingly,
But please don't take my heart,
(please don't take my heart)
You might break my heart,
(you might break my heart)
Please don't take my heart away from me!

Right now you tell me that you love me so,
But you might fall with someone else and go!
I'll give you all my lovin' so willingly,
But please don't take my heart,
(please don't take my heart)
You might break my heart,
(you might break my heart)
Please don't take my heart away from me!
(don't take it, don't take it away,
don't take it, don't take it away)

You can have my heart to share
If you handle it with care.
Though you say we'll never part,
I'm afraid to lose my heart!
(ah, ah)

Maybe if you'll promise to be true,
Gee, then I'll do anything for you!
I'll give you all my lovin' so willingly,
But please don't take my heart,
(please don't take my heart)
You might break my heart,
(you might break my heart)
Please don't take my heart away from me!
(don't take it, don't take it away,
don't take it, don't take it away,
don't take it, don't take it away,
don't take it, don't take it away...)
