“Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”**

Did you ever know
what you really wanted?
~~~~
I thought you wanted
to be your own girl,
to see the sky
from your point of view.
Baby, that was fine by me
cause I loved what you could see.
But now you want me to go,
to tell me goodbye.
~~~~
You never could
just look me in the eye,
see
reflected there
my love for you.
~~~~
Now you’re out there
running loose in the world
with nothing better to do
than “draggin’ my heart around”.
Yet you still keep knocking on my front door,
don’t know what it is you’re looking for
but all you do is run around town
tearing me down.
~~~~
Baby don’t you know
I was always willing to
look you in the eye;
so baby,
“stop draggin’ my heart around”
