Why think that I'm afraid of you
Every time you're near?
It's funny but I thought you knew
I have no fear, listen dear.

Take my heart
see if I care
what you do with it!
Go on, go thro' with it!
Do with it what you please.
Take my heart
even if only to play with it
Go on, be gay with it!
Do with it what you please.
Whether awake or sleeping
I shouldn't feel despair
Isn't it in good keeping
while it's in your care?
Take my heart
I'll never ask
what you've done with it,
Go on, have fun with it!
Take it and leave it at ease
and do with it what you please.

Take my heart
see if I care
what you do with it!
Go on, go thro' with it!
Do with it what you please.
Take my heart
even if only to play with it
Go on, be gay with it!
Do with it what you please.
Whether awake or sleeping
I shouldn't feel despair
Isn't it in good keeping
while it's in your care?
Take my heart
I'll never ask
what you've done with it,
Go on, have fun with it!
Take it and leave it at ease
and do with it what you please.

I see the danger in your eyes
Sweetheart I'm not blind,
I'll let you fool me with your sighs
'cause I don't mind, I'm that kind.

Take my heart
see if I care
what you do with it!
Go on, go thro' with it!
Do with it what you please.
Take my heart
even if only to play with it
Go on, be gay with it!
Do with it what you please.
Whether awake or sleeping
I shouldn't feel despair
Isn't it in good keeping
while it's in your care?
Take my heart
I'll never ask
what you've done with it,
Go on, have fun with it!
Take it and leave it at ease
and do with it what you please.

Take my heart
see if I care
what you do with it!
Go on, go thro' with it!
Do with it what you please.
Take my heart
even if only to play with it
Go on, be gay with it!
Do with it what you please.
Whether awake or sleeping
I shouldn't feel despair
Isn't it in good keeping
while it's in your care?
Take my heart
I'll never ask
what you've done with it,
Go on, have fun with it!
Take it and leave it at ease
and do with it what you please.
