Prince and the New Power Generation
My Tender Heart
[Verse 1]
I watch as the leaves turn from green to brown
And I know
One by one they fall right to the ground
And I try not to wonder if I'll ever see you around
'Cause just like the winter you came in with a roar
And left without a sound

I hope he loves you
I hope he really cares
'Cause any hope seems to die when you're not there

[Chorus]
My tender heart, my tender love is all I have to give
What makes you think I could live without you
When I don't want to live

[Verse 2]
I go to the park and sit under the tree
Where you would hold me, this was heaven
At least it was for me

And I lie in the dark, while you lied in your sleep
Oh how you told me you would love no other
Then you called out his name in your every dream
I know the leaves fall when winter comes to town
But why did you have to let me down

[Chorus]
My tender heart, my tender love is all I have to give
What makes you think I could live without you
When I don't want to live

[Breakdown]
Baby...
I can't do without you, girl
My mind say the show must go on
But my mind say how can it when my baby's gone
Oh how you told me that you'd love no other
Then you called out his name
Yes, you called out his name
And I, I couldn't take it baby
So I walked out the door
But no sooner than I got on the other side of that door
You know what?
I wanted you back
Oh, I wanted you back, baby, more than anything else in this world
Oh, yeah, I'm hip to all those things
A strong man would never let his pride fall
But what's a strong man supposed to do when you are his all?
[Chorus]
My tender heart
My tender love is all I have to give
What makes you think I could live without you
When I don't want to live
