(With Jeannie C. Riley)
It's a vicious circle
He and I are loving in
He loves everyone around but me
Each time he leaves
I say I'll never
Take him back again
He comes back
Just when I'm feeling weak
There goes my heart
Playing the part
Of the most foolish heart
In this whole town
There goes my heart
Playing the part
Of the heart he knows
That he can kick around
I don't know what possesses me
To think he'll change
I take him back
And he proves me wrong
Every time
Yet I can't follow through with all
The plans I've made
For if I really lost him
I'd lose my mind
There goes my heart
Playing the part
Of the most foolish heart
In this whole town
There goes my heart
Playing the part
Of the heart he knows
That he can kick around
