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 striking 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 vice
And a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
My expectations may be high, I blame it on my youth
Soon enough I learned 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
That a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find (ooh)
So please be gentle with this heart of mine, yeah
Yeah!
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 willing to defend
I know it will all be worth it in the end
And a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
And a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
(Ooh) a good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart
With this heart of mine
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh, a good heart)
(Ah, hey hey, a good heart)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh, a good heart)
(Ah-ha ah-ha ah-ha, a good heart)
(Oh oh oh, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up...)
