One Heart

(album: Misdemeanor - 1985)

The elevator it goes right to the 21st floor
He's stepping out and she walks right through the President's door
In this world you know, you're just a fool to take
He'll give you something adds up to nothing
It's your heart that breaks

One heart stands alone
Stripped right down to the bone
One heart easy to break
(How much more can you take?)
(Tell me now that this is just a mistake)

He sits up there like a king, oh, in the company chair
He'll cast you right but you know, it's just so unfair
So you're one more number now in his telephone book
It shows nothing
You've got something from the pleasure he took

One heart stands alone
Stripped right down to the bone
One heart easy to break
(How much more can you take?)
(Tell me now that this is just a mistake)
One heart stands alone
Stripped right down to the bone
One heart easy to break
(How much more can you take?)
(Tell me now that this is just a mistake)

So you think, you've found it
Your one big break got what it takes
And you're tough enough to spot all those fakes
Your first mistake
But you've got something that survives
A burning heart stays alive
And now I wish you could do with me
Oh baby, you just couldn't see

He'll give you your something
Adds up to nothing and your heart breaks
One heart stands alone
Stripped right down to the bone
One heart easy to break
(How much more can you take?)
(Tell me now that this is just a mistake)

One heart stands alone
Stripped right down to the bone
One heart easy to break
(How much more can you take?)
(Tell me now that this is just a mistake)

One heart stands alone
Stripped right down to the bone
One heart easy to break
(How much more can you take?)
(Tell me now that this is just a mistake)
