[Verse 1]

If you don't want a daughter

Then I'll give you a son

I'll give you every penny

For every song that I've sung

[Chorus]

'Cause baby when you're gentle

It's all that it takes

And oh, my heart breaks

Yeah, oh, my soul shakes

[Verse 2]

You can be the captain

I surrender my boat

If you're tired of the south, then baby

We're sailing north

[Chorus]

See baby when you're gentle

It's all that it takes

And oh, my heart breaks

Yes, oh, my soul shakes

[Verse 3]

I can tell the angels

They can take me instead

'Cause babe if you go missin'

Then I'd rather be dead

[Chorus]

'Cause baby when you're gentle

It's all that it takes

And oh, my heart breaks

Yeah, oh, my soul shakes

Yeah, oh, my heart breaks

Yeah, oh, my soul shakes

Oh, my heart breaks

Yeah, oh, my soul shakes

Oh, my heart breaks

Yeah, oh, my soul shakes
