Don't let them get the best
Of your heart leave the rest
Up to love and you'll be takin care of

Many come to try to tear away your heart
Never carin' for you from the very start
Still you wonder if this time could be real
Tryin' to figure out if they came just to steal

Don't let them get the best
Of your heart leave the rest
Up to love and you'll be takin care of

Time and time again you've listened to a smile
Never knowin' what's behind it all the while
You give yourself away until love is gone
And don't consider that they might be doin' harm

Don't let them get the best
Of your heart leave the rest
Up to love and you'll be takin care of

Hey there, you let him wipe away that little tear
You tryin so hard to hold back what you really feel
Always look inside the people that your with
And never hang around those who can not give
