As a girl I lived in a million homes
So I always would keep to myself
And my lessons were learned
From the stories and poems
I would steal from a library shelf


Yes the books like the rooms
Weren't mine to keep
But the words were left behind
And I think of them all now when I can't sleep
And a poet who read my mind


As the wiseman once wrote,
Never give all the heart,
Well it's easy to see
He was writing for me
I just wish I could play that part
Yes he scribbled that love isn't worth thinking of
That it fades out from kiss to kiss
If I just learned those lines
Well just think of the misery I'd miss


As the irishman said
Don't put your heart up to play
When he warned of the cost
And the heart that he lost
Mr. Yeats really paved the way
For the men that I've known who I've clearly shown
They've been reading him from the start
'Cause when it comes to me,
Well the kisses come free
But they never give all the heart


When he warned of the cost
And the heart that he lost
Mr. Yeats really paved the way
For the men that I've known well,
They've clearly shown
They've been reading him from the start
Cause each time that I fall,
They never give all the heart
