She is the rarest diamond
She is the fairest of many
She’s given every reason
For you to call on the wedding
But no, that’s not your style
‘Cause all the while you’ve been
Running wild
And she heard it through the grapevine
I don’t know how you do it
Maybe your tears win her over
A half a dozen roses
And she believes what you told her
But don’t be fooled for long
‘Cause she’ll be gone and for good reason
Oh man what were you thinking?
CHORUS:
Why don’t you stop
She’s only got one heart
So before you break it
Stop and think about it hard
Should you really take this chance on losing it all
When it’s all you really want
Why don’t you stop
She’s only got one heart
He is a valiant white knight
Among a legion of losers
And for your honor he fights
For him you find many uses
But when those other boys come around
He knows where you’re found
And he’ll be waiting there on standby
Until you come again
Why don’t you…
CHORUS:
Stop, he’s only got one heart
So before you break it
Stop and think about it hard
Should you really take this chance on losing it all
When it’s all you really want
Why don’t you stop,
He’s only got one heart
BRIDGE:
Well a faithful love is hard to come by
But if we try we can make it through the darkest nights
If you’re holding on then hold for dear life
You’ve got to try
You are the one and only
Only you don’t really know it
It’s hard to be so lonely
And you are careful to show it
You’d throw it all away
Just to hear them speak your name
Well, respect and love are one and the same
CHORUS:
Stop, You’ve only got one heart
Before you break it
Stop and think about it hard
Should you really take this chance on losing it all
When it’s all you really got
Why don’t you stop
You’ve only got one heart
