[Verse 1] Leave the light on, dear Sweep the front porch in case I'm strong enough to call again It won't be tomorrow, dear Or the next day. But when I can accept that we're just friends If heartbreak was a crime, you'd be locked up And I'd gladly throw away the key I need some time to let my wounds heal up Some time to the let the girl I love leave my dreams [Chorus] Just give my poor heart ease I'm begging please, please, please Just give my poor heart ease I'm begging please, please, please [Verse 2] Don't you dare dial me And if we're both at the same bar, don't you glance or wave or shout Just let me hate the fact That you mean more to me than I to you Of that, there is no doubt What a fool to think that we could be Friends and lovers together, happily I need some time to let my wounds heal up Some time to let the girl I love leave my dreams [Chorus] Just give my poor heart ease I'm begging please, please, please Just give my poor heart ease I'm begging please, please, please [Chorus] Just give my poor heart ease I'm begging please, please, please Just give my poor heart ease I'm begging please, please, please
