She was a fragile girl and she found it hard to trust
But she had him in the palm of her hand; he could have slipped right through like dust

She said, “Be careful, my love, my heart is made of glass”

CHORUS
He said, “I’ll protect your heart
I’m not like the others who stole it and tossed it away
I’m not going anywhere; I’m in this for the long haul
I’ll prove my love is true, true, true”

He held her in his arms and she began to cry
The tears ran down her face and soaked right through his shirt
It was incomprehensible how he could love someone like her
The past had hurt too much and now she’s opened up and shown her weaker side

She said, “Be careful, my love, my heart is made of glass”

CHORUS
He said, “I’ll protect your heart
I’m not like the others who stole it and tossed it away
I’m not going anywhere; I’m in this for the long haul
I’ll prove my love is true, true, true”

She looked deep into those eyes of crystal blue
And in that very moment she knew
Exactly what she had to do

She said, “Please protect my heart
I know you’re not like the others who stole it and tossed it away”
Then he said, “I’m not going anywhere; I’m in this for the long haul and I love you, baby”

“I’ll protect your heart
I’m not like the others who stole it and tossed it away
I’m not going anywhere; I’m in this for the long haul
I’ll prove my love is true, true, true”
