Lyrics
If my heart could speak
Then it could tell you how I feel about you
And, oh, it's not that I don't care
But my lips won't dare say what I want them to
If my lonely heart could speak
If my lonely heart could speak
Ah, you'd be surprised at what it would say to you
Yes, if my heart could speak
I would have no problem, everything I could explain
Oh, and if I do you wrong
Wouldn't take too long for my heart to know I caused you pain
If my lonely heart could speak
If my lonely heart could speak
Ah, darling, you, you'd be surprised at what it would say to you
I've tried so hard to find the words
Ooh, but my stubborn heart just remain
Bashful (Bashful), speechless (Speechless)
Oh, and full of love
Yes, bashful (Bashful), speechless, and unchained (And unchained)
But hearts weren't made that way
So my lips will have to say what I want, what I want you to know
Ooh, and it's no secret, dear
I'll always want you near 'cause I love you
Yes, I love you so
Though my lonely heart can't speak
And my lips are very weak
I'm telling you that you, you'd be
Surprised at what it would say to you
If my lonely heart could speak
If my heart could speak, my darling
It would tell you, it would tell you how I feel about you
If my lonely heart could speak
It would tell you how I want you and love you hugely, baby
If my lonely heart could speak
It would say these words, darling
It would say, "I love you, I love you, I love you"
If my lonely heart could speak
