I don't want my heart to be broken
'Cause it's the only one I've got
So darling, please be careful
You know I care a lot

Darling, please don't break my heart
I beg of you

I don't want no tears a-falling
You know I hate to cry
But that's what is bound to happen
You only say goodbye

Darling, please don't say goodbye
I beg of you

Hold my hand and promise
That you'll always love me true
Make me know you'll love me
The same way I love you, baby

You got me at your mercy
Now that I'm in love with you
So please, don't take advantage
'Cause you know my love is true

Darling, please, please love me too
I beg of you

Hold my hand and promise
That you'll always love me true
Make me know you'll love me
The same way I love you little girl

You got me at your mercy
Now that I'm in love with you
So please don't take advantage
'Cause you know my love is true

Darling, please, please love me too
I beg of you
Darling, please, please love me too
I beg of you
