Take It to Heart - Michael McDonald

By diane warren and michael mcdonald

I know that youre afraid to love

Youve been hurt before

Love broke your heart so you closed the door

Now here I am outside your world,

Wishin youd let me in Give me half a chance to prove you wrong

Baby all your tears have come and gone

Talkin bout a brand new start

Take it to heart, baby believe it This love is so strong that it wont let you go Baby hold on, youll see just how good its gonna be Its gonna be here long as you need it Never take your world and tear it apart

Take it to heart baby

Youre gonna have to trust someone

Its a shame if you dont

Because it aint no life living all alone

Let me show you how to love again

Theres no broken heart that love wont mend

Talkin bout a brand new start

I just want to be the one thatll be there by your side

So take this love of mine

Take it to heart

Baby believe it, this love is so strong, love is so strong baby

(love is a second chance to find all that we lost

Loves always worth a try no matter what the cost

I know you dont believe your tears have come and gone

Give me but half a chance and I will prove you wrong)
