Take this heart and give it to a charity
Take this heart and give it to the poor
Take this heart and give
it to the Salvation Army
I don’t think I need it anymore.

Dear Lord, I’m writing you these words,
‘cause I know You’ll understand
Dear Lord, I’m sendin’ you this letter,
‘cause I got to leave it in Your hands

Take this heart and give it to a charity
Take this heart and give it to the poor
Take this heart and give
it to the Salvation Army
I don’t think I need it anymore.

My love, she said she had to leave
This time she said
there was no doubt,
no doubt about it
I wore my heart upon my sleeve
Now I guess I wore it out.

Take this heart and give it to a charity
Take this heart and give it to the poor
Take this heart and give
it to the Salvation Army
I don’t think I need it anymore.

Take this heart and give it to a charity
Take this heart and give it to the poor
Take this heart and give it
to the Salvation Army
I don’t think I need it anymore.

Take this heart
(take this heart)
and give it to a charity
(give it to a charity)
Take this heart and give
it to the poor (give it to the poor)
Take this heart and give it
to the Salvation Army
I don’t think I need it anymore.
