Paul Williams
Once You Had A Heart
[Verse 1]
I couldn't believe it
When I found out I was losing you
I didn't like it
But there was really nothing for me to do
But hold my head way down

[Pre-Chorus]
When there was no one else around
To see the tears, the tears I cried
And this loneliness
My face could never hide

[Chorus]
Oh, girl
(Once you had a heart)
To give to me as I gave to you
(Then suddenly)
You upped and took your heart
And you gave it to somebody new
(How could you leave me?)

[Verse 2]
With such frustrations
As a man, I'd nеver known
I need determination
To rеgain my strength as a man and go on
Through the pain and misery
That loving you has put on me
[Pre-Chorus]
I could think of you from time to time
But to be close to you (Close to you)
Would only blow my mind

[Chorus]
Oh, girl
(Once you had a heart)
To give to me as I gave to you
(Then suddenly)
Suddenly you upped and took your heart
And you gave it to somebody new
(How could you leave me?)

[Bridge]
Mmm
Hmm

[Chorus]
(Once you had a heart)
To give to me as I gave to you
Then (Then suddenly)
Suddenly you upped and took your heart
And you gave it to somebody new
(I want to warn you) [?]
[Verse 3]
Just hope that you never
Have to face the reality
Because you too can be a loser
The same way you made a loser of me
And when the tears fall to the ground
You want nobody else around

[Pre-Chorus]
You're more confused with each new side
Because you hurt yours, and you don't know why
No, no, no, no, no

[Chorus]
(Once you had a heart)
To give to me as I gave to you
(Then suddenly)
Suddenly you upped and took your heart
And you gave it to somebody new

(Once you had a heart)
Once you had a heart
A pure, pure heart
(Then suddenly)
You gave it away and you tore my world apart, yes, you did
(Once you had a heart)
Once you had a heart, yeah, yeah
