Lyrics Chicken Hearted - Jim Reeves

It seems you're always wonderin' why
With love you can't get started
Come and let me tell you why
You're too chicken hearted.

I know you have a yen for men
But you're afraid you'll offend
Some old time tried and true blue friend
Then you'd be all alone again.

Somehow you just don't seem to know
The very thing that you let go
Is just the thing that you love so
You're just to chicken hearted.

--- Instrumental ---

You just can't be to shy and weak
And soft hearted so to speak
Forget the things you did last week
'Cause that's being chicken hearted.

I know you'd like to say so long
To things that you've done wrong
Find yourself a brand new love
To make your heart go bong.

I sometimes wonder what you'd do
If someone should say to you
Just let's pitch a little woo
You're to chicken hearted.

--- Instrumental ---

I know you'd like to say so long
To things that you've done wrong
Find yourself a brand new love
To make your heart go bong.

I sometimes wonder what you'd do
If someone should say to you
Just let's pitch a little woo
You're to chicken hearted.
