Analyse de la chanson par son co-auteur, Marc Shaiman :

"Nous avons écrit cette chanson après que Scott [Wittman] ait lu que Marilyn adorait le travail du poète Yeats et notamment ce poème "Never Give All The Heart", que nous avons paraphrasé tout le long des paroles. Voilà le poème :

"NEVER give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that's lovely is
But a brief, dreamy. Kind delight.
O never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.""

As a girl I lived in a million hopes
So I always would keep to myself
And my lessons were learned
from the stories and poems
I would steal from a library shelf
Yes the books, like the rooms
Weren’t mine to keep
But the words weren’t left behind
And I think of them all now and I can’t sleep
And a poet who read my mind
As the wise man once wrote
Never give all the heart
Well, It’s easy to see
He was writing for me
I just wish I could play that part
Yes, he scribbled that love
Isn’t worth thinking of
That it fades out from kiss to kiss
If I just learn those lines
Well just think of the misery I’d miss
As the Irishman said
Don’t put your heart up to play
When he warned of the cost
And the heart that he lost
Mr. Yeats really paved the way
For the men that I’ve known
Who have clearly shown
They’ve been reading him from the start
Cause when it comes to me
Well, their kisses come free
But they never give all the heart
When he warned of the cost
And the heart that he lost
Mr. Yeats really paved the way
For the men that I’ve known
Well, they’ve clearly shown
They’ve been reading him from the start
Cuz each time that I fall
They never give all the heart
