Don't play, don't play this heart of mine
I read your letter late last night
Sitting alone by candlelight
And I long for your embrace to
fill my senses with delight
Since the day we met I seem to
be living in an endless dream
And I feel somehow afraid of what
this new affair can mean
Please hear me when I say
I don't easily give love away
Don't play,
don't play this heart of mine
Don't play,
don't play this heart of mine
It's just that I've been hurt before
and it's left me feeling insecure
So forgive me if I'm caught in
all my defenses I deploy
Still I'm prepared to risk the pain
and begin to finally trust again
Only if you promise to love
me like you say you do
Please hear me when I say I don't
easily give love away
Don't play, don't play
This heart of mine
Don't play, don't play
This heart of mine
This heart, this heart of mine
Please hear me when I say I don't
easily give my way
Don't play,
don't play this heart of mine
Don't play,
don't play this heart of mine
Don't play, don't play this
heart of mine
Don't let, don't you let it,
don't you let it fall
