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
