Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooh, this ol' heart of mine, been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away, I fear you've gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that flow
Bringin' you back again
Hurtin' me more and more
[PreChorus]
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
'Cause each day that passes by
Ya got me never knowin' if I'm comin' or goin'
[Chorus]
But I, I love you
This old heart, darlin', is weak for you (Yes I do, yes I do)
I love you, yes I do (Yes I do, yes I do)
[Verse 2]
These old arms of mine miss having you around (Darlin' I'll wait for you)
Makes these tears inside start fallin' down (Darlin' I'm mad about you)
[PreChorus]
Always with half a kiss
You remind me of what I miss
Though I try to control myself
Like a fool, I start grinnin' 'cause my heart starts beatin'
[Chorus]
'Cause I, I love you, this ol' heart, darlin' is weak for you (Yes I do, yes I do)
I love you, yes I do, yes I (Yes I do, yes I do)
[Verse 3]
Ooh, I tried hard to hide my hurt inside (Darlin' I'll wait for you)
This ol' heart of mine always leaves me cryin' (Darlin' I'm mad about you)
The way your treatin' me, leaves me incomplete (Darlin' I'll wait for you)
You're here another day then gone for the week now (Darlin' I'm mad about you)
[PreChorus]
But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it, tell the world about it
[Chorus]
'Cause I, I love you, this ol' heart, darlin' is weak for you (Yes I do, yes I do)
I love you, this ol' heart, darlin' is weak for you (Yes I do, yes I do)
[Chorus]
(Darlin' I'm weak for you) I love you
This ol' heart, darlin' is weak for you (Darlin' I'm mad about you)
(Darlin' I'm weak for you) I love you, yes I do
(Darlin' I'm mad about you) Yes I
(Darlin' I'm weak for you) I love you
Yes I do, darlin', it's weak for you (Darlin' I'm mad about you)
