[Verse 1]
I gave my heart to you, the one I trusted
You brought it back to me all battered and busted
I sold my heart to the junkman and I’ll never fall in love again
[Verse 2]
I gave my heart to you, I thought you could use it
You brought it back to me all battered and bruised
I sold my heart to the junkman and I’ll never fall in love again
[Bridge]
Like a melodrama in a simple manner
Love played the leading part
We had such a happy ending
But we left with a broken heart
[Verse 2]
I gave my heart to you, I thought you could use it
You brought it back to me all battered and bruised
I sold my heart to the junkman and I’ll never fall in love again
I Sold My Heart to the Junkman was written by Leon René & Otis René.
