I HEAR A LOT OF STORIES
I SUPPOSE THEY COULD BE TRUE
ALL ABOUT LOVE
AND WHAT IT CAN DO TO YOU
HIGH IS THE RISK
OF STRIKIN' OUT
THE RISK OF GETTING HURT
AND STILL I HAVE
SO MUCH TO LEARN
WELL, I KNOW
'CAUSE I THINK ABOUT IT
ALL THE TIME
I KNOW THAT REAL LOVE
IS QUITE A PRICE
A GOOD HEART
THE LASTING KIND
PLEASE BE GENTLE
WITH THIS HEART OF MINE...
MY EXPECTATIONS MAY BE HIGH
I BLAME THAT ON MY YOUTH
SOON ENOUGH I'LL LEARN
THE PAINFUL TRUTH
I'LL FACE IT LIKE A FIGHTER
THEN BOAST OF HOW I'VE GROWN
ANYTHING IS BETTER
THAN BEING ALONE
WELL, I KNOW
'CAUSE I LEARN A LITTLE
EVERY DAY
I KNOW
'CAUSE I LISTEN WHEN
THE EXPERTS SAY... THAT
A GOOD HEART
THE LASTING KIND
OOH...
THIS HEART OF MINE...
YEAH!
HEY!
AS I REFLECT ON ALL
MY CHILDHOOD DREAMS
MY IDEAS OF LOVE
WEREN'T AS FOOLISH
AS THEY SEEMED
IF I DON'T START LOOKING NOW
I'LL BE LEFT BEHIND
AND A GOOD HEART THESE DAYS
IT'S HARD TO FIND
WELL, I KNOW
IT'S A DREAM
I'M WILLIN' TO DEFEND
I KNOW
IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT
IN THE END...
A GOOD HEART
THE LASTING KIND
BE GENTLE
WITH THIS HEART OF MINE
A GOOD HEART
OOH...
WITH THIS HEART OF MINE...
BABY, BABY
