I've heard a lot of stories, I suppose they could be true.
All about love and what it can do to you.
High is the risk of striking out, the risk of getting hurt.
And still I have so much to learn.
I know, 'cause I think about it all the time.
I know that real love is quite a price.
And a good heart these days is hard to find.
True love, the lasting kind.
A good heart these days is hard to find.
So please be gentle with this heart of mine.
My expectations may be high, I blame that on my youth.
Soon enough I'll learn the painful truth.
I'll face it like a fighter then boast of how I've grown.
Anything is better than being alone.
I know 'cause I learn a little everyday.
I know 'cause I listen when the experts say.
And a good heart these days is hard to find.
True love, the lasting kind.
A good heart these days is hard to find.
So please be gentle with this heart of mine.
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 is hard to find.
I know it's a dream I'm willing to defend.
I know it all will be worth it in the end.
And a good heart these days is hard to find.
True love, the lasting kind.
A good heart these days is hard to find.
So please be gentle with this heart of mine.
