Lyrics

"Heart On a Platter" M. Leppard c. 1997

Here is my heart on a platter
here is a feast I can offer to you
I'm taking care not to splatter
bits of the juice on this table for two
well, are you hungry?
I own the restaurant
are you thirsty?
come on, take what you want
I always stay open for those that I love
I'll treat you special, no push no shove

Here is my heart on a platter
it's not brand new, there is wear and there's tear
there have been times it was shattered
but I kept the pieces and I fixed it with care
well, you can touch it
it will quiver delight
it's dressed up and ready
for dancing tonight
you know it has whispered simple and clear
to please pay attention whenever you're near

there's no decoration
on this gift in my hand
I can't give you salvation
nobody can
but what I can offer
should you decide
you're in for some magic
and a hell of a ride

here is my heart on a platter
a gift just for you, I won't offer it round
don't take a taste just to flatter
and please, be discreet, you're on delicate ground
well, if you kiss me
I won't turn away
thrill me, thrill me
ask me to stay
I just had to tell you what's on my mind
you're free to refuse and say "some other time"
but here is my heart
on a platter.
