Lyrics
Can't Have My Heart Written & Performed by Banford Steven Hill Copyright 2004 library of Congress Register of Copyrights.
Verse
You can take my mind and you can rip it apart
You can tear my soul but you can't have my heart
You can blow my off pretend I don't count
You can walk on me you can throw me away
But you can't have my heart
You can look the other way but I still remain
You can watch my starve through the glass in the rain
But you can't have my heart
Bridge
Cause it's the only thing that I've got left
And it's the only thing that I have kept
Verse
You can laugh at me and you can call me names
You can watch me cry and keep me out of your games
But you can't have my heart
You can lock me up and keep me in a cage
You can put me down and you can have all my rage
But you can't have my heart
You can wear me down you can steal my dreams
You cxan lead me on and oh how you can make me scream
But you can't have my heart
Bridge
Cause it's the only thing that I've got left
And it's the only thing that I have kept
Cause it's the only thing the only thing that I've got left
And it's the only thing in this whole wide world that I have kept
It's the only thing yes it's the only thing that I've got left
And it's the only thing yes the only thing gets me through
