Don't Take Me To Heart

I'm sorry if I gave you hope

I didn't mean to lead you on

You start a fire when there's no smoke

But all the love in me has gone

 

'Cause it's not what you are thinking

And it's time that I should go

But before you get your hopes up

I've just got to let you know

 

Don't take me to heart

Don't take it the wrong way

Don't pull it apart

There's nothing in hearsay

I know what you think

That there may be something

Between us but please

Don't take me to heart

'Cause I'm not the right one

 

I'm not the girl you're looking for

I'm not who you think I am

You need someone who gives you more

Someone who you can understand

 

'Cause it's not what you are thinking

And it's time that I should go

But before you get your hopes up

I've just got to let you know

 

Don't take me to heart

Don't take it the wrong way

Don't pull it apart

There's nothing in hearsay

I know what you think

That there may be something

Between us but please

Don't take me to heart

'Cause I'm not the right one
