Well I gave my heart to you, open, so open and trusting
And you gave it back to me, it was broken up and busting
(Sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
(Sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
I can never fall in love again

Oh, and I know you took my heart
You thought that you could use it
When you gave it back like a toy
You broke and bruised it
(Sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
(I sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
I can never fall in love again

Now, it was a movie sad scene, I played my part
Ooh, I wanted the happy ending
But all I got was a broken heart
(All he got was a broken heart)
(I sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
(I sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
I can never fall in love again

Now I swear it was a movie setting, baby I played my part
And all I wanted was a happy ending
But now I'm left with a broken heart
(Now he's left with a broken heart)
(I sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
(I sold my heart) I sold my heart to the junkman
I can never fall in love again

I gave my heart to you, so open and trusting
And you gave it back to me, it was broken up and busting
(so I sold) I sold my heart to the junkman
(yes I sold) I sold my heart to the junkman
I can never fall in love again

Yes I did sold my heart to the junkman
Yes I did, yes I did
Sold my heart to the junkman
Now I can never fall in love again
Since I sold my heart to the junkman
