(close The Door) Take Your Heart

Linda Lewis · A Tear And A Smile [Expanded Edition] [2012]

(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



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



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
