I started young and I've been around
At first I thought that love would never let me down
But I discovered long ago
Some things I can't control
Like a woman's heart
And how I cry for love that's long been gone
I got to hand it to you
You made all my dreams come true
You took a heart that had seen some damage
And made it feel like new
Oh, I got to hand it to you
I carried this little boy around
Disguised him as the toughest, strongest man in town
But I found out there's no disguise
For a pair of lonely eyes
And my heart still cries
When I think of how it felt that very first time
I got to hand it to you
You made all my dreams come true
You took a heart that had long been broken
And made it feel brand new
Oh, I got to hand it to you
At first I thought that love would never let me down
But I discovered long ago
Some things I can't control
Like a woman's heart
And how I cry for love that's long been gone
I got to hand it to you
You made all my dreams come true
You took a heart that had seen some damage
And made it feel like new
Oh, I got to hand it to you
I carried this little boy around
Disguised him as the toughest, strongest man in town
But I found out there's no disguise
For a pair of lonely eyes
And my heart still cries
When I think of how it felt that very first time
I got to hand it to you
You made all my dreams come true
You took a heart that had long been broken
And made it feel brand new
Oh, I got to hand it to you
