I never knew if I could make it.
I'd gotten used to bein' blue.
For so long I had to fake it.
But I fin'lly made it over you.
But then here you come,

Actin' like you were never gone.
You're just havin' fun.
You must think I'm made of stone.

Why can't you leave my heart alone.
If you can't stay then just go on.
If I'm not the one you'll always want.
Why can't you leave my heart alone.

I used to like to play with fire,
I was attracted to your flame.
But now I have no desire,
To play that same old cryin' game.
I'm doin' fine:
I've got my feet back on the ground.
Made up my mind,
Till you start comin' back around.

Why can't you leave my heart alone.
If you can't stay then just go on.
If I'm not the one you'll always want.
Why can't you leave my heart alone.

I'm not a toy you can play with at will,
Then throw me away once you get your thrill.
You better watch yourself, the things that you do:
Someone could turn the tables on you.

Instrumental break.

Well here you come,
Actin' like you were never gone.
You're just havin' fun.
You must think I'm made of stone.

Why can't you leave my heart alone.
If you can't stay then just go on.
If I'm not the one you'll always want.
Why can't you leave my heart alone.

Leave it alone.
This poor old heart.
