I wrote this one for the songwriters in the kitchen (https://www.songwriter-forum-kitchen.com/) collaboration challenge 2019.
Heart on a Stick
V1
Baby, I’ll give you my heart on a stick
But I’ll dip it in vinegar first
Don’t expect the results to be quick
‘Cause more is at stake than your thirst
V2
Baby, I’ll give you my heart on a stick
But I warn you, your bubble might burst
If we’re not an impeccable fit
You haven’t seen me at my worst
Chorus
If you want me you can have me
If you pass the acid test
If you want me you can have me
But take me as I am
Then we can decide the rest
V3
Baby, I’ll give you my heart on a stick
But I’m now testing things in reverse
Waiting to see if our temp’raments click
Or whether your lines are rehearsed
Bridge
Can’t fool me with fables
I’m finally able
To know when to give
Or hold back
No more love at first sight
I spent too much time
On the rack
