Listen to me before you leave 
I've got something to say to you 
One thing I know, I've got good eyes 
I don't like what I see 
Just like a V8 under the hood 
Of a car made of nails and wood 
Your big heart's gonna break your little body 
 
You light the lamp, I follow you down 
I stand right by your side 
Out in the dark, it's bitter, it's cold 
I don't much like this ride 
Sometimes the motor never can stop 
Sometimes the wine overrunneth the cup 
Your big heart's gonna break your little body 
 
Everyone's asleep, you're still awake 
You know you give more than I can take 
Your big heart's gonna break your little body
