Half a Heart - Jill Sobule

One leg in one leg out

What do you get with a half a heart

Part brave soul the rest is not

What do you get with a half a heart?

A half a mind, a half a spine

A half a glass, a half alive

One step in, one step out

What do you get with a half a heart

One breath in one breath out

Coming and going with a half a heart

One eye looks so lovingly

The other looks right through me

In search of something better or more beautiful

To fill you up, to fill your cup

To make you feel like you’re the king of the hill

One step in, one step out

What do you get with a half a heart?

The angels on my shoulder whisper in my ears

Say «What've you got to lose»

The gremlins on the other side

Say «she doesn’t really love you»

We’re half way there, we’re half way back

We’ve half a chance, we’re so half assed

You say hello, I say goodbye

We turn in circles and we both change sides

One step in, one step out

One breath in, one breath out

One leg in, one leg out

What do you get with a half a heart?
