This Heart
Natalie Cole · Other Songs - Natalie Cole
And can't nobody take it away
Ooh no, this heart is your heart
And can't nobody take it away from me
Ooh no, no, no, no, just can't take my love away
I give my heart to you to have and keep
May it pleasure your desires
And keep our love from getting weak
We'll keep the fire burning and our love wheel turning
You can surely have my all, all you have to do is call because
(This heart)

No, no, never, never, never, never take it away from me
Oh, ho, our love will always be so safe and sound
Always lifting you up, never letting you down
The guys will come and go, making scenes rather sad
But I let them all know just how it is
(Just how it is)
Oh, just how it is
(Just how it is)
Yeah, I knew the day that I first met you boy, ooh, hoo
That it would be hard to leave you, a rah, na, na, dah
Now that I know that I have you boy, you know
