(Smokey RobinsonPete MooreMarv Tarplin)

Ooo, you say you're feelin' bad 'cause

The least thing makes you cry

Sounds like a real bad case

Of a girl who needs a guy

I think I know the perfect jewel

One you ought to try

Take a heart that's full of love

On this you can rely



[Chorus:]

If you need some quick reaction, take this heart of mine

And if you need some satisfaction, take this heart of mine

And if you're tired of being lonely, take this heart of mine

I think I can help you if you'll only take this heart of mine



I may not be a doctor who can cure your ills

Goodbye to all those different drugs and hard-swallowed pills

My remedy is older than the tale of Jack and Jill

My prescription is the kind you love to have refilled



[Chorus]



Got a lovin' side (this heart of mine)

That's pure as gold (this heart of mine)

Take it, it's yours (this heart of mine)

To have and to hold (this heart of mine)

And if you do that, baby (this heart of mine)

After we grow old (this heart of mine)

It'll be the greatest love story (this heart of mine)

That was ever told (this heart of mine)

Oh, baby (one more time, let's hold)



Oh, medicine won't cure you

Just leave you at the most

The relief is only temporary

Pretty soon will go

But love can last a lifetime

When two hearts are close

Take as much as you want to

There is no overdose



[Repeat chorus and fade]
