HEART, THE
(Larry Gatlin)

Larry Gatlin - 1973


The heart's a funny thing
With a mind all its own
It withers like a garden
Left untended and alone 
And the thorns of loneliness invade
And destroy what they can't steal
So easy to hurt
But oh, so hard to heal


I know, I've had it happen to me
Time and time again
And it feels just like bein' turned down
By your one and only friend
So, don't fool yourself by sayin' 
That it won't hurt, the pain ain't real
So easy to hurt
But oh, so hard to heal


Ooh-ooh-oooooooh
Ooh-ooh-oooooooh
Ooh-ooh-oooooooh
Ooh-ooh-oooooooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooooh
Mmmmmm-mmmm
So easy to hurt
But oh, so hard to heal
Hard to heal
