abbey lincoln - a heart is not a toy lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
children need a game to play to while away the hours
winning, losing, games of conquest demonstrating powers
but if you play a game of love you always have to lose
broken+hearted lovers, the story of the blues

[verse 1]
a heart is not a toy that’s made to play with
a heart is made of skeins of purest gold
a heart is not a toy, a child’s amus+m+nt
i’ll need my heart to keep me from the cold

[verse 2]
have you ever known a lonely heart that’s broken?
a lonely heart with no more dreams to share
a heart that doesn’t love anybody
that turned itself to stone, not to care

[verse 3]
broken hearts are always blamed on lovers
but it wasn’t love that broke a heart in two
it was over long before it ended
with stolen dreams that never did come true

[verse 4]
so be careful when you tell yourself a story
it’s better not to tell yourself a lie
life is full of wonder, there is glory
you don’t have to wait until you die
hearts of gold were made to touch the sky
hearts of gold were made to touch the sky
