Versatile Heart - Linda Thompson

You should have told me

Never should have sold me down the river

Wasn’t fair play

And I’m goin' away, goodbye

I could do much better

Will you write me a letter of recommendation?

Say what you think

But please don’t stint on the praise

You can play any part

With a versatile heart

Sugar, soft and sweet

You made my life complete

When I sifted through the wreckage

And I read your message, it tore me apart

You’re lucky you can choose

Who you love and who you lose, that’s an art

Was the screw worth turnin'?

Was the bridge worth burnin' you so and so?

On your high moral ground

Worth less than the pound and your halo

You can play any part

With a versatile heart

Sugar, soft and sweet

You made my life complete

You can play any part

With a versatile heart

Sugar, soft and sweet

You made my life complete

You say you love me, I bet you do

Too bad you never told me so

Stay on the road, you two faced fool

That way we’ll never come to blows

You should have told me

Never should have sold me down the river

Wasn’t fair play

And I’m goin' away, goodbye

I could do much better

Will you write me a letter of recommendation?

Say what you think

But please don’t stint on the praise

You can play any part

With a versatile heart

Sugar, soft and sweet

You made my life complete

You can play any part

With a versatile heart

Sugar, soft and sweet

You made my life complete
