Worn Out Broken Heart - Loleatta Holloway

You know now you say you’re ready for love

And that you can hardly wait

But before you take my heart into careless ends

There’s something I want you to know

I want to tell you this

Baby, this heart’s been mistreated

Yes, you really did mislead it

Made the tears fill my eyes (fill my eyes)

It’s been torn apart from the start and baby

On top of that you told me lies

So if you’ve got a mind to break my heart

You’re too late because it’s already torn apart

So be gentle now (be gentle now)

And boy, if you want to lend me a hand

To this helpless girl come on now and give it a try (give it a try)

Ooh, Be gentle now

It’s a worn out broken heart

Will you help me fix it baby?

(will you help me fix it?)

It’s a worn out broken heart

Will you help me mend it baby?

(Will you help me mend it?)

So boy if you want to be like the rest

I do believe it will be for the best

If you leave me be (leave me be)

Oh, I don’t want you to mend it boy

Turn right around and end it boy

By leaving me (leaving me)

Be gentle now (gentle now)

It’s a worn out broken heart (yes)

Will you help me fix it baby?

(will you help me fix it?)

It’s a worn out broken heart

Will you help me mend it baby?

(Will you help me mend it?)

Come on, come on, come on honey

Help me repair, repair the damage

Of a worn out, torn and tattered broken heart
