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
