This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You), sung by The Isley Brothers (1966).
“
Ooh, this old heart of mine, been broken thousand times
Each time you break away, I fear you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that go
Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more.
— Holland-Dozier-Holland
