Take a Look at My Heart - John Prine

I seen my old lady’s boyfriend

He don’t look nothing like me

Except for a bit of confusion

Same kind she laid on me

You don’t know what you’re getting into

She’s gonna tear you apart

You’re going places I’ve been to

Take a look at my heart

Take a look at my heart

You’re probably sending her flowers

And talking to her on the phone

You’re gonna get it together

And find yourself all alone

You don’t know what you’re getting into

She’s gonna tear you apart

You’re going places I’ve been to

Take a look at my heart

Take a look at my heart

Do you think you can be her lover and not become her fool?

Do you think that you are the exception to the rule?

You’re gonna hate all her girlfriends

And everything that they say

You ask me how do I know this

They come around every day

You don’t know what you’re getting into

She’s gonna tear you apart

You’re going places I’ve been to

Take a look at my heart

Take a look at my heart

I seen my old lady’s boyfriend

He don’t look nothing like me

Except for a bit of confusion

Same kind she laid on me

You don’t know what you’re getting into

She’s gonna tear you apart

You’re going places I’ve been to

Take a look at my heart

Take a look at my heart

Take a look at my heart
