A heart is not a play thing,
a heart is not a toy,
but if you want it broken,
Just give it to a boy.
Boys they like to play with things
To see what makes them run,
But when it comes to kissing,
They do it just for fun.
Boys never give their hearts away
They play us girls for fools,
They wait until we give our hearts
And then they play it cool.
You will wonder where he is at night
You will wonder if he’s true,
One moment you will be happy,
One moment you will be blue.
If you get a chance to see him
Your heart begins to dance
Your life revolves around him,
There’s nothing like romance.
And then it starts to happen,
You worry day and night
You see, my friend, you're losing him
It never turns out right.
Boys are great, though immature
The price you pay is high,
He may seem sweet and gorgeous
But remember, he’s a guy.
Don't fall in love with just a boy
That takes a lot of nerve.
You see, my friend, you need a man
To get what you deserve.
So when you think that you're in love,
Be careful if you can
Before you give your heart away
Make sure that he’s a man

i lovee this i can relate so much
This poem has been around forever. The version I knew ended:
Love is fun but it hurts too much
The price you pay is high
And if I had to chose between love and death
I think I'd rather die
I first read this poem in 1973/74. I lived in Surrey, UK. A new girl to our sixth form, Jeannette, had become a good friend. She was a creative soul, filled with melancholy and one day she had given me a copy of this poem, in her distinctively sloping, curlicue-filled handwriting(I was never sure if she was the author but at the time believed so as she did write poetry).
It makes me smile in the age of the internet, to see others claim it as their own, 30-40 years on...
Superb!
Few words changed but plagiarism for sure!!! Taking credit for other peoples work is BS
In the 1950’s my mom recited this poem to me and said it was from the 1930’s when she was a teenager
