Let's Call A Heart A Heart - Original - Billie Holiday

When we’re in a friendly situation

My conversation

May not be smart

But if we’re to have a perfect understanding

Let’s call a heart a heart!

There are words that should be whispered gently

That’s evidently

The way to start

If I tell you what my dreams have been demanding

Let’s call a heart a heart!

Can I prove how I yearn

Just by the turn of a phrase?

Can I keep my control

When all my soul is ablaze?

Maybe you would call a true confession

An indiscretion

On someone’s part

But if I’m to say how madly I adore you

Let’s call a heart a heart!

Maybe you would call a true confession

An indiscretion

On someone’s part

But if I’m to say how madly I adore you

Let’s call a heart a heart!
