Have a Heart

Dean Martin · Everybody Loves Somebody: The Reprise Years 1962-1 [2002]

(Ken Lane - Irwing Taylor)



Have a heart have a heart

Let me warn you before we start

My love's no play-thing no throw-away thing

So have a heart.



When I swear how I care

I'm not fooling so please be fair

If you'll be lyin' I will be cryin'

So have a heart.



Darling it's the very first time

I've ever fell in love you see

This would be the very worst time

For you to take advantage of me.



So I plead please take me

Of the treatment my heart will meet

If you should break it I couldn't take it

So have a heart.



(Darling it's the very first time)

I've ever fell in love before

(This would be the very worst time)

For you to take advantage of me.



So I plead please take me

Of the treatment my heart will meet

If you should break it I couldn't take it

So have a heart...
