Maxi Priest - If I Gave My Heart To You lyrics
rate me[Intro:]
If I gave my heart to you, girl
What would you do with it?
Uh, uh, tell me what would you do with it!
Oh baby!
I wanna know if I'm looking in the right direction!
Am I receiving your full attention?
Or am I wasting my time?
I wanna know, do you promise to love me dearly?
And never go away and leave me with just bitterness inside
And I'm not ashamed for being so cautious
For love ain't a game, no, it ain't a game
Chorus:
So if I gave my heart to you what would you do with it?
Would you tear it apart, or would you look after it?
If I gave my heart to you what would you do with it?
Would you tear it apart, or would you treasure it?
Oh, what is the point in starting something you can't continue?
With a broken heart first day can't help you.
So you got to be sure from the start!
For my heart is not made of unbreakable material.
While thinking about love, it’s got to be mutual
Or else someone is sure to be hurt.
So don't think I’m vain for asking these questions
For love ain't a game, no it ain't a game!
Chorus:
So if I gave my heart to you what would you do with it?
Would you tear it apart, or would you look after it?
If I gave my heart to you what would you do with it?
Would you tear it apart, or would you treasure it?
Oh, somebody tell me
If I gave my heart to you, girl
So what would you do with it (what would you do to it)
Oh, baby!
Tell me what would you do with it?
Oh, yeah!
Well I hope that you're sure
That what you say affects and not illusions
And they possess the right solutions.
To be sure we will get through!
For so many before me have given their hearts away completely
Well, I think you know that they matter too deeply
Then realized when it’s too late
That love can bring joy, but then again can be painful
For love ain't a game,
No, it ain't a game!
Chorus:
So if I gave my heart to you what would you do with it?
Would you tear it apart, or would you look after it?
If I gave my heart to you what would you do with it?
Would you tear it apart, or would you treasure it?
Oh, somebody tell me
If I gave my heart to you, girl
So what would you do with it (what would you do to it)
Oh, baby!
Tell me what would you do with it?
Oh, yeah!
