(lari white/john rotch)



I know what it is you're tryin'

When you're tryin' to be so cool

Everywhere you go you're a romeo

With a smile and a line so smooth



But the trail of hearts lying in your wake

It looks like a six lane interstate

And there's a big, bright, red light telling me tonight

Not to slow down, get my heart out of sight



Chorus:

So you won't get the taste of this, not even a kiss

The fact your middle name is heartache ain't no coincidence

You made a livin' out of lovin' and leavin' 'em to fall apart

So now you better understand you'll never lay a hand on one

Itty bitty little single solitary piece o' my heart



I know what it is you're doin'

With all that cooin' and a wooin'

But you can't fool me, i got a degree

I learned a lot from hard knock schoolin'

Well, i used to jump in wholehearted

Every time a new love started

But it was just a chase, then replaced heart, thrown in my face

Not any more, my love is to good to waste



(repeat chorus)



I said now you better understand, you'll never lay a hand on one

Itty bitty little single solitary piece o' my heart
