Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I hear a lot of stories

I suppose they could be true

All about love and what it can do to you

Highest risk of striking out

The risk of getting hurt

And still, I have so much to learn

[Verse 2]

Well, I know 'cause I think about it all the time

I know that real love has quite a price

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

My expectations my be high

I blamed 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

[Verse 5]

Well, I know 'cause I learn a little every day

I know 'cause I listen when the experts say

[Verse 6]

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

So please be gentle with this heart of mine (Yeah)

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

I know it's a dream I'm willing to defend

I know it will all be worth it in the end

[Verse 9]

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

[Verse 10]

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 (With this heart) Of mine

[Verse 11]

(A good heart) Baby, baby

(A good heart)

(A good heart)

(A good heart) Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up

(A good heart) Ooh, baby, baby

(A good heart) Oh

(A good heart)
