My Poor Old Heart

[Verse 1]

I've been a fool for love

Ever since I was a baby

Just a rocking in the cradle

As a rule, I was

The kind that laid his feelings

Up front and on the table

I gave her my world so many times

Just to see 'em tear it apart

Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart

[Chorus]

I wonder just how many times a broken heart can mend

Oh and when I get back on my feet, Lord, I always fall again

Bridges burned, lies, good-byes

They've all dealt some scars

Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart

[Verse 2]

Well I ought to know by now

After all these dead-end heartache lessons

I can go without

Going through hell trying' to find a little heaven

Seems to me every woman I meet

Has leaving down to an art

Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart

[Chorus]

I wonder just how many times a broken heart can mend

Oh and when I get back on my feet, Lord, I always fall again

Bridges burned, lies, good-byes

They've all dealt some scars

Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart

[Verse 3]

Well I said, bridges burned, lies, good-byes

They've all dealt some scars

Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart

I said Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart
