Love You by Heart - Carly Simon

The lies that you tell will leave you alone

They’ll keep you down

They’ll catch you and trip you up

Keep you hangin' around

The habit is old — you don’t need it anymore

Go on and kiss it goodbye

'Cause you got me, and I can see

Who you really are

I want to show you my heart

I want to know you by heart

And love you by heart

I’m right here beside you

There’s nobody else to set you straight

To shake you, to let you know

That it’s still not too late —

I want to show you my heart

I want to know you by heart

And love you by heart

Don’t make up stories

I know you by your eyes

I think I know what’s inside

The streets you’ve been on

Will leave you out in the cold

But you know I care

And years from now

We’ll both look down from the top of the stairs —

Here I’ve shown you my heart

I want to know you by heart

And love you by heart
