I Ain't Got No Heart

Lyrics
Ain't got no heart
I ain't got no heart to give away
I sit and laugh at fools in love
There ain't no such thing as love
No angels singing up above today
Girl, I don't believe
Girl, I don't believe in what you say
You say your heart is only mine
I say to you, "you must be blind
"What makes think that you're so fine?"
But I would throw away
The groovy life I lead
'Cause baby, what you got, yeah
It sure ain't what I need
Girl, you better go
Girl, you better go away
I think that life with you would be
Not just quite the thing for me
Why is it so hard to see my way?
Why should I be stuck with you?
It's just not what I want to do
Why should an embrace or two
Make me such a part of you?
I ain't got no heart to give away
