"You Show Me Your Heart and I'll Show You Mine" Lyrics

(Tom T. Hall)

You show me your heart and I'll show you mine.

I'm not gettin' hurt anymore
That's a promise I made me for sometime ago
I've never ran into things hard and unbending
When I was just traveling slow.

If it's down to this and I'm taking my chances
I've just got one offer in mind
Let's see a teardrop whatever else you got
You show me your heart and I'll show you mine
You show me your heart and I'll show you mine.

I'm weak and I'm uncertain in fact I'm still hurtin'
And hurt put on hurt just won't heal
So make me a promise you'll laugh when I laugh
And you'll cry when I cry it's a deal.

I'm strong and I'm able but weak and unstable
When somebody steps on my mind
You have to be willin' the free milk I'm spillin'
You show me your heart and I'll show you mine
You show me your heart and I'll show you mine.

There was a time I'd be willin' to risk
Just the day of my life on the nights
But if you've been away say at four in the morning
The memories crawlin' by your side.

If you want to take it or if you can
Just make it a one sided offer that's fine
I just got one proposition to make you
You show me your heart and I'll show you mine
You show me your heart and I'll show you mine...
