[Verse 1]
Girl, I see you packed up, all ready to go
Well, I guess there ain't much I can do about that
I hope you know you're trying to take the better part of me
I gave you everything I got
And I ain't got nothing else to give
See, I gave you my mind, my soul
And now you wanna take my heart
But I might just need my heart again
See, I just might fall in love again, baby
So, so please drop my heart off
Will you drop my heart off at the door?
'Cause I'm sure somebody somewhere
Might be able to use that heart of mine one day
[Verse 2]
Girl, you've got my mind and you've got my soul
You're all packed up, on your way out the door
Oh baby
But if you don't mind, will you leave just a little part of me?
Hey, hey
'Cause I might fall in love again
And this heart I'm gonna need
[Verse 3]
So go
(Go, go on and go)
Go on along, girl
But if you don't mind, will you drop my heart off
(Drop my heart off on your way out the door)
On your way out the door, oh oh
(Go on and go)
Go on and go
But will you please drop my heart off
(Drop my heart off on your way out the door)
On your way out the door, oh baby
(Ooh ooh)
[Verse 4]
If your mind is set on leaving me this way
I guess there's nothing I can do
Or nothing I can say, no, baby
It may take some time
Girl, I'll get over you
So go on and do what you've got to do
Ha hey
[Verse 5]
(Go, go on and go)
Go, girl, girl, girl, girl
Oh Lord
(Drop my heart off on your way out the door)
Won't you do that for me, ah, baby
(Go, go on and go)
Go on, girl
Will you drop my heart off
(Drop my heart off on your way out the door)
Hey, baby, will you do that, will you do that for me?
(Go, go on and go)
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh, and drop my heart off
(Drop my heart off on your way out the door)
Oh baby, will you leave it with me?
(Go, go on and go)
Will you leave it with me, baby?
Hey, I just might need it sometime
(Drop my heart off...)
