COME FROM THE HEART
(Richard Leigh / Susanna Clark)

As recorded by KATHY MATTEA:

When I was a young girl my daddy told me
A lesson he learned, it was a long time ago
If you want to have someone to hold onto
You're gonna have to learn to let go

You got to sing (sing) like you don't need the money
Love (love) like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance (dance) like nobody's watchin'
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work

Now here is the one thing I keep forgettin'
When everything is fallin' apart
In life as in love what I need to remember
There's such a thing as tryin' too hard

You got to sing (sing) like you don't need the money
Love (love) like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance, dance, dance like nobody's watchin'
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work

You got to sing sometimes like you don't need the money
Love sometimes like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance, dance, dance like nobody's watchin'
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work

(Come from the heart)
