You know now you say you're ready for love 
 And that you can hardly wait 
 But before you take my heart into careless ends 
 There's something I want you to know 
 I want to tell you this 
    Baby, this heart's been mistreated 
 Yes, you really did mislead it 
 Made the tears fill my eyes (fill my eyes) 
 It's been torn apart from the start and baby 
 On top of that you told me lies   
 So if you've got a mind to break my heart 
 You're too late because it's already torn apart 
 So be gentle now (be gentle now) 
 And boy, if you want to lend me a hand 
 To this helpless girl come on now and give it a try (give it a try) 
 Ooh, Be gentle now   
 It's a worn out broken heart 
 Will you help me fix it baby? (will you help me fix it?) 
 It's a worn out broken heart 
 Will you help me mend it baby? (Will you help me mend it?)   
 So boy if you want to be like the rest 
 I do believe it will be for the best 
 If you leave me be (leave me be x 2) 
 Oh, I don't want you to mend it boy 
 Turn right around and end it boy 
 By leaving me (leaving me x2) 
 Be gentle now (gentle now)   
 It's a worn out broken heart (yes) 
 Will you help me fix it baby? (will you help me fix it?) 
 It's a worn out broken heart 
 Will you help me mend it baby? (Will you help me mend it?)     
 Come on, come on, come on honey. 
 Help me repair, repair the damage 
 Of a worn out, torn and tattered broken heart (repeat last verse to end)
