Strum
D-DU-UDU
Don’t  think my love  is something that  you can play  with
I’m  not the one  to spend the time  of day with
You  learn to hide love, you lock it up or find it gone
You  think you need me, you  think you read me from  the beating of my heart
 But you’re listening  to the wrong heartbeat
 O you’re listening  to the wrong heartbeat
 You’re listening  to the wrong heartbeat
 My love  is strong
 If you should see a tear, you won’t see many
 If you should hear me sigh, it’s not for any
 If you should greet me as I am walking along
 You only want to see just the shell of me You don’t know the other part
 Don’t throw your secrets where men will steal them
 You got to hide them, you got to seal them
 No matter what you try, you’ll never take my love from me
 And if you might think that you can move me From the beating of my heart
