Don’t Take My Heart And Put It On Lyrics She’s such a flirt I’m gonna know who you are Give it a chance For our love to start But you’ll never see If you don’t give me a shot To show you what I’ve got It’s too late to pretend You know me better than I know myself Don’t take my heart and put it on a shelf I won’t be somebody else And that’s not easy, where can we go from that I’m gonna give my love to someone else I held your hand It felt like a movie I’ve made some plans But you were already Moving on now And I was stuck under a rainy cloud But you don’t seem to care But it’s alright cause It’s too late to pretend You know me better than I know myself Don’t take my heart and put it on a shelf Always somebody else And that’s not easy, where can we go from that I’m gonna give my love to someone else I’m tired of wasting all my time My heart is hanging on this line Leave it for someone else Don’t leave it on a shelf It’s too late to pretend You know me better than I know myself Don’t take my heart and put it on a shelf When will you see How much it hurts to be alone like me So go on and put your heart on a shelf La la la la la La la la la la Always somebody else And that’s not easy, where can we go from that I’m gonna give my love to someone else

Album Description
180 gram pressing of 1974 album. Warner.Amazon.com
One of those bands that perfectly epitomized so many things about the 1970s, Little Feat created a strangely smooth and sexy pastiche of Southern-spiced blues-rock. Main man Lowell George’s undulant slide guitar marked the group’s early recordings. His vocals, meanwhile, were distinctive in the manner in which he toyed with vowels as if they were yo-yos, tossing them up and down, this way and that. The albums recorded prior to George’s 1979 death reflected a jazz influence (albeit one that would grow more pronounced as his influence in the band waned). Being based in Los Angeles also gave them a certain patina they may have lacked if they had been based in, say, Memphis. Feats Don’t Fail Me Now features visiting guests Bonnie Raitt and Emmylou Harris and a collection of tight, wryly observant songs. Don’t Fail Me’s 1973 predecessor, Dixie Chicken, is generally seen as Little Feat’s must-have outing, but this album, too, holds up a stunningly strong demonstration the appeal of the band’s rock-blues-jazz hybrid. –Lorry Fleming
