(Chapin Hartford) Let me tell you a little somethin' 'bout this heart of mine I ain't gonna try to make it smile when it's really cryin' And I won't tell you that I love you when I'm mad But I won't tell you that I hate you, you can't get that bad I'll give you my love Well most of the time All my affection And a little piece of my mind Some of my money And a key to my car But I'm gonna be the bossa' my heart, bossa' my heart I'm gonna be the bossa' my heart Now don't get me wrong 'cause baby you're the only one If I seem a little cold it's from the storm I've come from I have a history of missing the obvious I nearly froze in a blinding love, I won't let that happen to us I'll give you my love Well most of the time All my affection And a little piece of my mind Some of my money And a key to my car But I'm gonna be the bossa' my heart, bossa' my heart I'm gonna be the bossa' my heart I'm gonna let you be The bossa' who Watches the money, picks out the restaurants Honey you do what you want Yes you can Be the main man When it comes to the practical things that living can bring I'm putty in your hands But let me get one thing straight before we start I'm gonna be the bossa' my heart, bossa' my heart I'm gonna be the bossa' my heart
