Play My Jangly Heart
Verse 1
I don’t know what you do to me
I only know you do
Every string I’ve got inside
Starts ringing out for you
You smile and all my common sense
Forgets the clever part
One little look from you
Sets off my jangly heart
Chorus
Jangly heart
Ringing like a twelve-string
Jangly heart
There you go again
Knocking me around
Without knocking me apart
You don’t break it, baby
You just play my jangly heart
Verse 2
Maybe love gets older
Maybe we do too
Listen how these rusty strings
Still sound brand-new with you
Love ain’t always fireworks
Sometimes it’s one small spark
But you still strike a chord in me
And start my jangly heart
Chorus
Jangly heart
Ringing like a twelve-string
Jangly heart
There you go again
Knocking me around
Without knocking me apart
You don’t break it, baby
You just play my jangly heart
Bridge
Some hearts beat like a metronome
Steady from the start
Mine’s always had a string or two
That wouldn’t play its part
But somehow every wrong note
Falls right where it ought
Maybe love ain’t perfect
Maybe that’s the perfect part
Final Chorus
Jangly heart
Ringing like a twelve-string
Jangly heart
There you go again
After all these years
You still know where to start
You don’t break it, baby
You just play my jangly heart
Jangly heart
Yeah, my jangly heart
My jangly heart
