Let's Call a Heart a Heart

Arthur johnston / sonny burke

When we're in a friendly situation

My conversation may not be smart

But if we're to have a perfect understanding

Let's call a heart a heart

There are words that should be whispered gent@y

That's evidently the way to start

If i tell you what my dreams have been demanding

Let's call a heart a heart

Can i prove how i yearn

Just by the turn of a phrase

Can i keep my control

When all my soul is aflame

Maybe we'd call a true confession

And in discretion on someone's part

But if i'm to say how madly i adore you

Let's call a heart a heart
