Take My Heart: Song & Lyrics by Soko

Great simple song; takes my heart and blows my mind away ...



You can take my heart for a walk on the beach
You can take my heart for a little trip
You can take my heart very close to your heart
You can take my heart forever if you like

But not every heart belongs to any other
You and I
You and I are meant to be
I'm the one for you, You're the one for me
You love me as much as I do
When you look at me and we're skin to skin
I want you so
Please come in
And you love me more and more
And my love grows up with you
And you kiss me more and more
And I kiss you, too
And I kiss you, too

If I take your heart, I will cherish it every day
If I take your heart, I will heal these old wounds
If I take your heart, it's to make it happy
If I take your heart, it's forever close to mine

But not every heart belongs to any other
You and I
You and I are meant to be
I'm the one for you, You're the one for me
You love me as much as I do
When you look at me and we're skin to skin
I want you so
Please come in
And you love me more and more
And my love grows up with you
And you kiss me more and more
And I kiss you, too
And I kiss you, too

(Violin solo! )

I don't care, I don't care
If I'm again carried away
If you swear, if you swear
To give me your heart in return

I don't care, I don't care
If I'm again carried away
If you swear, if you swear
To give me your heart in return
To give me your heart in return

And God Created Man To Validate Him ... And Women

What is a baby without a caregiver to look him in the eye?
What if the baby had been brought up by a pack of wolves?
What is a woman without a baby and a man,
To hug and be hugged?
What if the woman is in solitary confinement?
Is she a sight brave or sad to behold?
What is Emily Dickinson without her legacy of poems?
What is Helen Keller without her life story?
What is Mother Teresa without her slump in the slums?
What is a man making his way in life,
Without someone to talk to?
Will a wordless dog, a curt passerby,
A speechless bystander do?
What is Jesus without John?
What does the mocking gallery,
The baying in the bleachers,
To the fallen gladiator do?
Think of his Momma,
His children,
O, all so far away and long ago?
What is a writer whose gift is not received?
Who is Gaugain that he threw his life,
And his paintings, away?
What is the performer who plays to an empty hall?
To whom does the owl to-wit-to-woo,
A melange of melancholy and bellyful?
Is it to the moon as a pantunnaire would write?
Or is he seeking a mate for his soul, if not the night?
What is a book without an author,
Who is Brigitte without Roger,
Bardot without Vadim?
Does the tree in the forest falls,
If there is no Karam Singh Walia to report it all?
What is God without Man to scribe Him?
What is the girl, okay, woman,
With the killer looks at FB,
If this verse is not dedicated to her?

The Monkey In Humans

Do monkeys see humans as monkeys or humans?
Are we humans outside and monkeys inside?
O, why do monkey things happen in human affairs?
God gives the word and a higher level of thinking to humans
But still it is monkeys they turn up to be;
Why do bad things happen to good people?
God gives a flower to humans, but they turn into monkeys
And tear the flower up;
How do you love a human who has been scorched,
How do you love a woman who has been scorned,
How do you love a child who has been hurt,
Without the monkey in them snatching
It away and up a tree, defiant look and all?
How do you tame the wild when the wild does not want to be tamed?
Can you fashion a handbag from monkey skin?
Why o why do I have to fall for a love monkey?
Who teases, tears, tosses, tests and tricks?
Is a sense of love lost a signpost for a sense of new love found?
As in paradise lost, paradise returned?
And how would you like to bury a love lost
By conceding the ultimate irony:
"Let it be,"
Says humanity,
In the very same monkey?
