VERSE 1
Guess I better just take my heart back
Man I gave it to seems not to want it
What do you think I should do with it now
Not like a gold ring, can't pawn it

VERSE 2
He's flattered of course and still leads me on
While I'm patient and loving and kind
Seems like my heart has a will of its own
Trying to stop it from being so blind

CHORUS
What is a heart and why is it broke
Doesn't make much sense to me
Should haul myself down to the old body shop
Try to get me a new one that's free

VERSE 3
Why can't it see that he doesn't love me
We're friends, that's it and that's all
I'm doing my best to bring my heart back
Doesn't seem to be heeding my call

VERSE 4
It would be really nice if my heart would think twice
You would think there'd be some common sense
To let my heart know I should just let him go
Stop letting him sit on the fence

CHORUS
What is a heart and why is it broke
Doesn't make much sense to me
Should haul myself down to the old body shop
Try to get me a new one that's free

VERSE 5
I hope one day soon when I see that bright moon
My heart won't be thinking of him
The way things are now, want to exchange some vows
But the chances of that are quite slim

VERSE 6
Maybe one day this will just go away
When somebody new comes along
'Cause I'm getting tired of sitting alone
Pouring my heart into songs

CHORUS
What is a heart and why is it broke
Doesn't make much sense to me
Should haul myself down to the old body shop
Try to get me a new one that's free

Should haul myself down to the old body shop
Try to get me a new one that's free
