Текст пісні Forever - Kim Carnes

Forever

If I give you my heart would you love me forever?
Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall?

I learned when I was a young girl
You turn your cheek, you get slapped
I take the punches I can't slip
And I give 'em right back

Oh, even if I win, boy
You know it really won't mean too much
What I want, baby, most of all
Is the kind of thing I can't touch

If I give you my heart would you love me forever?
Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall?
If my world falls apart would you keep it together?
If I can't have you, I don't want no one at all

Just because I'm so quiet
Just because I don't cry
The hardest lesson to learn, boy
Is how to take it inside

There's leather and jewels to soothe me
But it isn't really what I need
There's an aching hurt inside of me
It's the kind of thing you don't see, oh

If I give you my heart would you love me forever?
Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall?
If my world falls apart would you keep it together?
If I can't have you, I don't want no one at all

Now the years are unwinding
But I still feel the hurt
'Cause I've been fighting my whole life
For the privilege to work

I've stopped and looked around me
And there's nobody left to blame
If I don't have you to hold me, boy
Then all my work's in vain, oh

If I give you my heart would you love me forever?
Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall?
If my world falls apart would you keep it together?
If I can't have you, I don't want no one at all

If I give you my heart would you love me forever?
Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall?
If my world falls apart would you keep it together?
If I can't have you, I don't want no one at all

If I give you my heart
Would you love me forever?
If I give you my heart
Would you love me forever?
