Lyrics
I'm gonna stop wasting time, honey
Being a run around
Chasing after every little girl
That lives in our town
I'm just gonna take it easy, baby
Tell you what I'm gonna do right now
I'm hanging up my heart for you, oh-oh, oh-oh
I'm gonna shake the reputation of
Being a ladies man
Gonna throw away my little black book right now
Into the nearest trash can
I'm just gonna push aside
Everything I used to do
Because I'm hanging up my heart right now for you
And oh-oh, oh-oh, I wanna thank you
Yes, I wanna thank you
Mmm, for making me see the light
And ooh, I'm wanna thank you
Yes, I'm gonna thank you
For the rest of my life
And every, and every, and every, everyday
I just wanna love you more and more
I'm gonna be a one woman's man right now baby
Like never before
And when all of it's over
There's just one thing I wanna do
I wanna hang up my heart, my heart for you
Oh-oh-oh, yeah
I wanna be hanging it up
Hanging up my heart for you
Uh-uh-uh
