Little Red Heart

You said you wanted to
Get a little red heart
Tattooed on your left breast,
And then you said that
My love would do the rest.
You want to show you’re my valentine
And I love you, I must confess.
With that little red heart,
Our love will be the best.
It’s time to make a choice,
And there’s no second guess.
The ink’s permanent, and
Here’s the money now to
Get a little red heart
Tattooed on your left breast.

I see you want to hesitate,
But there is nothing to fear.
The pain of the needle is short,
And it will soon disappear.
The hurt will be like your past,
But you that know I am here.
Like the reminder on your skin
I will always be near.
It’s time to make a choice,
And there’s no second guess.
The ink’s permanent, and
Here’s the money now to
Get a little red heart
Tattooed on your left breast.

You aren’t sure right where
the little red heart should go.
You are afraid in the wrong
Place it would easily show.
So get it done in a place that
Only I would know.
It doesn’t matter to me, since
I’m sure our love will grow.
It’s time to make a choice,
And there’s no second guess.
The ink’s permanent, and
Here’s the money now to
Get a little red heart
Tattooed on your left breast.
