Have The Heart Lyrics

[Chorus: Post Malone & Dolly Parton]
Baby, I don't have the heart to break yours
Yeah, and trouble rode in on the back of a pale white horse
You're so sweet, and tryna leave is like slammin' a revolvin' door
Baby, I don't have the heart to break yours

[Verse 1: Post Malone & Dolly Parton]
I should be callin' it quits instead of callin' you up
We should be makin' some plans (Mm) instead of makin' love
We're playin' chicken with enough is enough

[Post-Chorus: Dolly Parton]
I don't have the heart
Wanna hear somethin' sexy?

[Verse 2: Dolly Parton]
I like the way that my bed is lookin' over your boots
And them bell-bottoms I wear make walkin' out hard to do
We know well that it ain't gonna work
Oh, what the hell's one more night gonna hurt?

[Post-Chorus: Post Malone & Dolly Parton]
We should saw this love in half on the sawdust floor
Baby, I don't have the heart to break yours
Baby, I don't have the heart to break yours

[Outro: Dolly Parton]
I just can't do it
