Dont Play with my Heart

A heart is not a play thing,
A heart is not a toy.
But if you want it broken,
Just give it to a boy.

Boys, they like to play with things,
To see what makes them run.
But when it comes to kissing,
They do it just for fun.

Boys never give their hearts away,
They play us girls for fools.
They wait until we give our hearts,
And then they play it cool.

You will wonder where he is at night,
You'll wonder if he's true.
One moment you'll be happy,
One moment you'll be blue.

If you get a chance to see him,
Your heart begins to dance,
Your life revolves around him,
There's nothing like romance.

And then it starts to happen,
You worry day and night.
You see, my friend, you're losing him,
It never turns you right.

Boys are great, though immature,
The price you pay is high.
He may seem sweet and gorgeous,
But remember, he's a guy.

Don't fall in love with just a boy,
That takes a lot of nerve.
You see, my friend, you need a man,
To get what you deserve.

So when you think that you're in love,
Be careful if you can.
Before you give your heart away,
Be sure that he's a man.
