George Jones - With Half A Heart lyrics

I never thought I’d see the day That you would come to me and say I am sorry that we had ever met I guess it all just goes to show How little one can really know Somebody that’s my darling you can bet I’ll never again risk all my chips On laughing eyes and lying lips I may risk some but I’ll hold back a part At burnt child always fears the fire Though you may fill me with desire I’ll do my loving with half a heart Half a love is better than none I may miss out on half the fun But it won’t hurt me half as much if we should part I may just feel just half the bliss If we share just half a kiss But I’ll always be left with just half a heart I only wished that I could be Sure that the next gal that loved me Would love completely with her heart and soul But I’m afraid she’ll let me down And laugh at me all over town So I’m gonna keep my self-control He who loves and runs away will love again another day Will be my motto from the very start I’ll never again be taken in by twinkle And a dimple chin I’ll do my lovin’ with half a heart Half a love is better than none….
