Straight From The Heart

(álbum: Wish Someone Would Care - 1964)

Do you need me, like I need you?
Look at me, I'm crying from holding you
Make me forget the pain that you caused
Understanding is a great thing
If it comes from the heart

If time would stand still
While I'm thinking of you
I'd think of all the things that I wanted of you

To make me forget the pain that you caused
Understanding is a great thing
If it comes from the heart

Picking up the pieces
Of my broken heart
It was real hard

A fragile thing like life
It just don't last so long
It could be for a minute or an hour
Or then again, from now

If time would stand still
While I'm thinking of you
I'd think of all the things that I wanted of you

To make me forget the pain that you caused
Understanding is a great thing
If it comes from the heart

(Understanding's a great thing)
Yes it is, if it comes from the heart

Life is too fragile
Don't abuse it, now
Time isn't promised to everyone
