Michael Johnson - Put Your Heart on the Line

Michael Johnson - Put Your Heart on the Line
1985 work tape, songwriter unknown
lyrics: Hello baby, were you still awake
Are you still angry, does your heart still ache
I think I've seen a big mistake
One that so many other lovers make
Ooh girl we're so tangled up
So far apart and so out of touch
We tried too hard and we think too much
It just gets in the way
Put your heart on the line, let me talk to a friend
Don't go speaking your mind, just get us in trouble again
Put your heart on the line, let me talk to a friend
Keep it simple this time, don't go speaking your mind
Put your heart on the line
Think back to when we first met
We followed our feelings step by step
We finally found it was hot as it gets
We both knew it hadn't burned out yet
So humor me baby, put your pain aside
All of our problems and all our pride
And if you still can't tell me what you feel inside
I don't need to talk to you

Fantastic! I know that "comparisons are odious," but it's amazing to me that an MJ demo "work tape" is better than anything on contemporary streaming top-10 lists. Thanks for continuing to find and share these gems, Cindy. -Tom
