I never knew if I could make it
I'd gotten used to bein' blue
For so long I had to fake it
But I fin'lly made it over you
But then here you come
Actin' like you were never gone
You're just havin' fun
You must think I'm made of stone

Why can't you leave my heart alone
If you can't stay then just go on
If I'm not the one you'll always want
Why can't you leave my heart alone

I used to like to play with fire
I was attracted to your flame
But now I have no desire
To play that same old cryin' game
I'm doin' fine:
I've got my feet back on the ground
Made up my mind
Till you start comin' back around

Why can't you leave my heart alone
If you can't stay then just go on
If I'm not the one you'll always want
Why can't you leave my heart alone

I'm not a toy you can play with at will
Then throw me away once you get your thrill
You better watch yourself, the things that you do:
Someone could turn the tables on you

Instrumental break

Well here you come
Actin' like you were never gone
You're just havin' fun
You must think I'm made of stone

Why can't you leave my heart alone
If you can't stay then just go on
If I'm not the one you'll always want
Why can't you leave my heart alone

Leave it alone
This poor old heart
