Lyrics

Heartless Heart

[Verse 1]

Every night is the same old thing

Baby I tried, yeah I tried

Let's put an end to this misery

Baby I cried, yeah I cried

[Pre-Chorus]

So hot, stone cold

But why'd you let me go

[Chorus]

You got a heartless heart

Got a heart of stone

You got a heartless heart

And it's just gonna bring you down

[Verse 2]

You tell me things that I know ain't true

Baby you lied, yeah you lied

I just wanted to be with you

Baby I tried, yeah I tried

[Pre-Chorus]

So hot, stone cold

But why'd you let me go

[Chorus]

You got a heartless heart

Got a heart of stone

You got a heartless heart

And it's just gonna bring you down

[Bridge]

(Heartless heart)

(Heartless heart) Got a heart of stone

(Heartless heart)

(Heartless heart)

You got a heartless heart of stone

It's bringing me down, baby

You had to play the only game you've known

With my heart, with my heart, oh

[Verse 1]

Every night is the same old thing

Baby I tried, yeah I tried

Let's put an end to this misery

Baby I cried, yeah I cried

[Pre-Chorus]

So hot, stone cold

But why'd you let me go

[Chorus]

You got a heartless heart

Got a heart of stone

You got a heartless heart

And it's just gonna bring you

You got a heartless heart

Got a heart of stone

You got a heartless heart

And it's just gonna bring you down

[Outro]

(Heartless heart)

(Heartless heart)

You got a heartless heart

And it's just gonna bring you

Heartless heart
