Richard Marx
Heart on the Line
One look in your innocent eyes
And I knew you had to be the one
You walked out of all of my dreams
Never thought the day would really come
I’ve been standing
in a long desperate line
Waiting for somebody like you
I may only be wasting my time
Don’t know what else to do
If you turn me away
Just be careful what you say
Girl, you’ve got my heart on the line
Don’t be mean, don’t be cruel
Don’t you treat me like a fool
Girl, you’ve got my heart on the line
It’s too late to
be wishing I was
In somebody else’s shoes this time
I’m tied up, like a slave to a chain
Praying that you’ll please be kind
If it’s true that
love’s a disease
Baby, I’m a dangerous case
I beg for mercy, got me down on my knees
You’ve got a smile on your face
If you turn me away
Just be careful what you say
Girl, you’ve got my heart on the line
Don’t be mean, don’t be cruel
Don’t you treat me like a fool
Girl, you’ve got my heart on the line
I don’t want to
stay
In my own little world
So if you want to play
Won’t you show me, little girl
If you turn me away
Just be careful what you say
Girl, you’ve got my heart on the line
Don’t be mean, don’t be cruel
Don’t you treat me like a fool
Girl, you’ve got my heart on the line
