Forever

(Yeah, one, two, three)

If I give you my heart would you love me forever?

Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall?

I learned when I was a young girl

You turn your cheek, you get slapped

I take the punches I can't slip

And I give 'em right back

Oh, even if I win, boy

You know it really won't mean too much

What I want, baby, most of all

Is the kind of thing I can't touch

If I give you my heart would you love me forever?

Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall?

If my world falls apart would you keep it together?

If I can't have you, I don't want no one at all

Just because I'm so quiet

Just because I don't cry

The hardest lesson to learn, boy

Is how to take it inside

There's leather and jewels to soothe me

But it isn't really what I need

There's an aching hurt inside of me

It's the kind of thing you don't see, oh

If I give you my heart would you love me forever?

Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall?

If my world falls apart would you keep it together?

If I can't have you, I don't want no one at all

Now the years are unwinding

But I still feel the hurt

'Cause I've been fighting my whole life

For the privilege to work

I've stopped and looked around me

And there's nobody left to blame

If I don't have you to hold me, boy

Then all my work's in vain, oh

If I give you my heart would you love me forever?

Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall?

If my world falls apart would you keep it together?

If I can't have you, I don't want no one at all

If I give you my heart would you love me forever?

Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall?

If my world falls apart would you keep it together?

If I can't have you, I don't want no one at all

If I give you my heart

Would you love me forever?

If I give you my heart

Would you love me forever?
