HEARTLESS HEART
Marty Simes / Leon Carr / Hal David

as rec by Kitty Kallen w Jack Pleis & his Orch
July 27th 1953 New York


Heartless heart,
Why did they give you such a heartless heart?
Why must I love
A heart that has no love to give?
Heartless heart,
You only live to tear my dreams apart!
Why must I love
A heart that needs no love to live?

Burning lips, how can they turn so cold?
Faithless arms that have to hurt the one they hold!

Heartless heart,
I'm waiting for the beat of love to start!
But I'm a fool
Because I know you can't be true!
And yet I'll never say we're through,
I'm tied to you,
Oh heartless heart!

Burning lips, how can they turn so cold?
Faithless arms that have to hurt the one they hold!

Heartless heart,
I'm waiting for the beat of love to start!
But I'm a fool
Because I know you can't be true!
And yet I'll never say we're through,
I'm tied to you,
Oh heartless heart!
