Gave you my heart on a platter
You looked it over and then put it on a shelf
When I asked you when you were going to keep it close to you
You told me that you were thinking
You were trying to make up your mind
I looked over and saw that there were others there
You had many hearts you were toying with
Well give it back
I want it back
I want to have a chance at love
I want to know what it means to really be loved by another
I want to know my heart is safe
As I take my heart back you snag a piece of it
You're so tenacious
You only don't want to let go of any of your toys
You don't like to share
You don't like thinking about someone else playing with them
Well give it back
I want it back
I want to have a chance at love
I want to know what it means to really be loved by another
I want to know my heart is safe
My dear hearts aren't toys
Hearts are meant to be treasured and held dear
I want it back
I want to have a chance at love
I want to know what it means to have someone really love me
So release your grasp
Give it back to me
