You know now you say you`re ready for love
And that you can hardly wait
But before you take my heart into careless ends
There`s something I want you to know
I want to tell you this

Baby, this heart`s been mistreated
Yes, you really did mislead it
Made the tears fill my eyes (fill my eyes)
It`s been torn apart from the start and baby
On top of that you told me lies

So if you`ve got a mind to break my heart
You`re too late because it`s already torn apart
So be gentle now (be gentle now)
And boy, if you want to lend me a hand
To this helpless girl come on now and give it a try (give it a try)
Ooh, Be gentle now

It`s a worn out broken heart
Will you help me fix it baby? (will you help me fix it?)
It`s a worn out broken heart
Will you help me mend it baby? (Will you help me mend it?)

So boy if you want to be like the rest
I do believe it will be for the best
If you leave me be (leave me be x 2)
Oh, I don`t want you to mend it boy
Turn right around and end it boy
By leaving me (leaving me x2)
Be gentle now (gentle now)

It`s a worn out broken heart (yes)
Will you help me fix it baby? (will you help me fix it?)
It`s a worn out broken heart
Will you help me mend it baby? (Will you help me mend it?)


Come on, come on, come on honey.
Help me repair, repair the damage
Of a worn out, torn and tattered broken heart (repeat last verse to end)
