Sure took your time
   I've been waiting here so long
   But you keep tellin' me
   To just hold on
  
   But now your back
   But you'll be leavin' me again
   Oh I just want your love
   But you just need a friend
  
   And with a wounded heart
   You come to me
   For a best friend's advice
   And sympathy
  
   Oh if I could
   Keep one heart from breakin'
   Keep one heart from makin'
   A big mistake
   It'd be yours
  
   Oh if I could
   Keep one heart from breakin'
   Keep one heart from makin'
   If I could keep
   One heart
   It'd be yours
  
   Stop standin' there
   Won't you open up your mind
   Darlin' don't you take too long
   Because my heart's on the line
  
   Just close your eyes
   And think of you and I alone
   And how I've wanted you
   And how my love for you has grown
  
   If I could have one wish
   I'd set you free
   From you holdin' him
   Instead of me
   Oh if I could
   Keep one heart from breakin'
   Keep one heart from makin'
   A big mistake
   It'd be yours
  
   Oh if I could
   Keep one heart from breakin'
   Keep one heart from makin'
   If I could keep
   One heart
   It'd be yours
