Don't take my heart and put it on a shelf

She's such a flirt
And I am the lonely heart
Give it a chance
For our love to start
Cause you'll never see
If you don't give me a shot
To show you what I got

[CHORUS:]
But it's too late to pretend
You know me better than I know myself
Don't take my heart and put it on a shelf
Always someone else
The next guy who will
Make your cold heart melt
I'm gonna give my love to someone else

I held your hand
It felt like a movie
I made some plans
But you were already moving on
Now I'm stuck under a rainy cloud
But you don't seem to care
But it's all I can take

[CHORUS]
But it's too late to pretend
You know me better than I know myself
Don't take my heart and put it on a shelf
Always someone else
The next guy who will
Make your cold heart melt
I'm gonna give my love to someone else

I'm tired of wasting all my time
My heart is hanging on the line
Is it me, girl, or someone else?
Don't leave it on the shelf

It's too late to pretend
You know me better than I know myself
Don't take my heart and put it on a shelf

Baby, see?
How much it hurts to be alone like me?
So go ahead and put your heart on a shelf

La la la la la
La la la la la

Always someone else
The next guy
Who will make your cold heart melt
I'm gonna give my love to someone else yeah
