Love You By Heart

Carly Simon


The lies that you tell will leave you alone
They'll keep you down,
they'll catch you and trip you up
Keep you hangin' around

The habit is old - you don't need it anymore
Go on and kiss it goodbye
'Cause you got me, and I can see
Who you really are
I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

I'm right here beside you
there's nobody else to set you straight
To shake you, to let you know
That it's still not too late -
I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

Don't make up stories,
I know you by your eyes
I think I know what's inside

The streets you've been on
Will leave you out in the cold
But you know I care,
And years from now
We'll both look down from the top of the stairs -
Here I've shown you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart
