Rick Springfield – Take A Hand lyrics

Young girl, you really did believe in him
Still he broke your heart with lies
You've got to be stronger, the pain it won't last much longer
Don't lose respect for yourself, no
Sweet young thing, no don't lose your head, or by the time you're 17
You'll be waking every morning with a stranger in your bed
Chorus:
One broken heart, I know it cuts like a knife
But one broken heart is no reason to give up on life
Girl be waiting, be anticipating for that new love to come along
And one broken heart you'll survive
So sad, you lived for and now you're dying for love
Ah - but you won't find it like that - no
No peace and calm in the strength of a stranger's arms
Baby wake up to yourself, now
Love ain't guaranteed - no - but it sure is worth a new start
Or by the time you're 21
You'll be lying in a stranger's bed, dying from a broken heart
chorus
(Solo)
And I'm hoping, I'm really hoping, that sweet love will come your way to mend
One broken heart you'll survive (repeats 3x)
