Sure took your time   I've been waiting here so long   But you keep tellin' me   To just hold on      But now your back   But you'll be leavin' me again   Oh, I just want your love   But you just need a friend      And with a wounded heart   You come to me   For a best friend's advice   And sympathy      Oh, if I could   Keep one heart from breakin'   Keep one heart from makin'   A big mistake   It'd be yours      Oh, if I could   Keep one heart from breakin'   Keep one heart from makin'   If I could keep one heart   It'd be yours      Stop standin' there   Won't you open up your mind?   Darlin', don't you take too long   Because my heart's on the line      Just close your eyes   And think of you and I alone   And how I've wanted you   And how my love for you has grown      If I could have one wish   I'd set you free   From you holdin' him   Instead of me      Oh, if I could   Keep one heart from breakin'   Keep one heart from makin'   A big mistake   It'd be yours      Oh, if I could   Keep one heart from breakin'   Keep one heart from makin'   If I could keep one heart   It'd be yours
