Take It to Heart
[Verse 1]
I know that you're afraid to love
You've been hurt before
Love broke your heart so you closed the door
Now here I am outside your world
Wishin' you'd 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

[Chorus]
Take it to heart, baby, believe it
This love is so strong that it won't let you go
Baby, hold on, you'll see
Just how good it's gonna be
It's gonna be here long as you need it
Never take your world and tear it apart
Take it to heart, baby

[Verse 2]
You're gonna have to trust someone
It's a shame if you don't
Because it ain't no life living all alone
Let me show you how to love again
There's no broken heart that love won't mend
Talkin' 'bout a brand new start
[Chorus]
Take it to heart, baby, believe it
This love is so strong that it won't let you go
Baby, hold on, you'll see
Just how good it's gonna be
It's gonna be here long as you need it
Never take your world, blow it apart
Take it to heart

[Bridge]
I just want to be the one that'll be there by your side
So take this love of mine

[Chorus]
Take it to heart, baby, believe it
This love is so strong that it won't let you go
Baby, hold on, you'll see
Just how good it's, just how good it's gonna be
It's gonna be here long as you need it
Never take your world and tear it apart
Take it to heart, baby, believe it
This love is so strong, love is so strong, baby, baby

[Outro]
Girl, you could take it
(Love is a second chance to find all that we lost)
Oh baby, we can make it, baby
(Love's always worth a try no matter what the cost)
Ooh, oh girl
(I know you don't believe your tears have come and gone)
Baby, baby
(Give me just half a chance and I will prove you wrong)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
(Ooh) Baby (Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh) Hey, baby (Ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh) Hey
(Ooh, ooh) Baby (Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
