Never Give All the Heart-Katharine McPhee

[00:01.27]As a girl, I lived in a million homes [00:05.04]So I always would keep to myself [00:09.34]And my lessons were learned [00:11.15]From the stories and poems [00:13.77]I would steal from a library shelf [00:17.42] [00:18.63]Yes, the books like the rooms [00:20.55]Weren't mine to keep [00:23.75]But the words were left behind [00:29.38]And I think of them all now when I can't sleep [00:35.25]And a poet who read my mind [00:42.61] [00:44.62]As the wise men once wrote [00:47.65]Never give all the heart [00:54.43]Well, it's easy to see [00:57.03]He was writing for me [00:59.31]I just wish I could play that part [01:04.33] [01:05.11]Yes, he scribbled that love isn't worth thinking of [01:10.09]That is fades out from kiss to kiss [01:15.33]If I'd just learned those lines [01:17.78]Well, just think of the misery I'd missed [01:23.54] [01:24.94]As the Irish men said [01:28.35]Don't put your heart up to play [01:34.26]When he warned of the cost [01:36.64]And the heart that he lost [01:38.94]Mister Yeats really paved the way [01:43.12] [01:43.88]For the men that I've known [01:46.51]Who have clearly shown [01:49.65]They've been reading him from the start [01:54.41]'Cause when it comes to me [01:57.45]Well, their kisses come free [02:01.75]But they never give all the heart [02:08.71] [02:18.38]When he warned of the cost [02:20.04]And the heart that he lost [02:22.53]Mister Yeats really paved the way [02:26.92] [02:27.39]For the men that I've known [02:30.07]Well, they've clearly shown [02:33.95]They've been reading him from the start [02:39.54]'Cause each time that I fall [02:44.17]They never give all the heart [02:53.13] [02:55.49]MmmmmmMmmm....
