about

Among Whitney's first original compositions.

lyrics

If you love me as I am,
And I will what I will be,
What will become of me
If we are parted
For that would leave me brokenhearted.

If I sing the blues too much,
If I hold you close too long,
If I need to know that you are mine, dear,

If my fingers bend like yours,
If my hair begins to silver,
If you're weary of the parade, love,

Well I'm cold and curt
and I flirt with other fellas,
But you just turn your cheek.
Well I'm vain, I'm mean,
I'm drama queen, it's true,
I really don't deserve you.

But who will hold my wicked tongue?
Who will quiet my nervous heart?
Who will know what to do when I fall apart?
What Will Become of This Broken Heart?

Well I'm cold and curt
and I flirt with other fellas,
But you just turn your cheek.
Well I'm vain, I'm mean,
I'm drama queen, it's true,
I really don't deserve you.

But who will hold my wicked tongue?
Who will quiet my nervous heart?
Who will know what to do when I fall apart?
What Will Become of This Broken Heart?
