(Smokey Robinson/Pete Moore/Marv Tarplin)
|
Ooo, you say you're feelin' bad 'cause
|
The least thing makes you cry
|
Sounds like a real bad case
|
Of a girl who needs a guy
|
I think I know the perfect jewel
|
One you ought to try
|
Take a heart that's full of love
|
On this you can rely
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
If you need some quick reaction, take this heart of mine
|
And if you need some satisfaction, take this heart of mine
|
And if you're tired of being lonely, take this heart of mine
|
I think I can help you if you'll only take this heart of mine
|
|
I may not be a doctor who can cure your ills
|
Goodbye to all those different drugs and hard-swallowed pills
|
My remedy is older than the tale of Jack and Jill
|
My prescription is the kind you love to have refilled
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Got a lovin' side (this heart of mine)
|
That's pure as gold (this heart of mine)
|
Take it, it's yours (this heart of mine)
|
To have and to hold (this heart of mine)
|
And if you do that, baby (this heart of mine)
|
After we grow old (this heart of mine)
|
It'll be the greatest love story (this heart of mine)
|
That was ever told (this heart of mine)
|
Oh, baby (one more time, let's hold)
|
|
Oh, medicine won't cure you
|
Just leave you at the most
|
The relief is only temporary
|
Pretty soon will go
|
But love can last a lifetime
|
When two hearts are close
|
Take as much as you want to
|
There is no overdose
|
|
[Repeat chorus and fade]
