Verse 1   

You say it's over -- Well, I've learned my lesson the hard way.
Maybe I'll find someone who will buy a second-hand ring.
But still I'm sorry, for I know,
As time goes on, you'll learn one thing:
A man in the heart, girl, is worth two on the string!

Verse 2

I was in clover -- 'til you told me it was over
Maybe I'll find someone to give my heart a new song to sing.
Though in your world you are a queen
You'll find, some day, you need a king
Aand a man in the heart, girl, is worth two on the string!

BRIDGE:
 
Well, you say you want your taste of life
Just on sip at a time.
But I won't trade this heart of mine
For an empty glass of wine.

Verse 3

So, just remember, when you come to cold December --
Every winter was once a beautiful spring.
And when your days of love have passed,
You'll learn at last this simple thing --
A man in the heart, girl, is worth two on the string!
