I 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 I've still so much to learn
Well, 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
And true love, the lasting kind
And 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 it 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
Well, I know
'Cause I learn a little every day
I know
'Cause I listen when the experts say
That a good heart these days is hard to find
And true love, the lasting kind
That a good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
As I reflect back on my childhood dreams
My ideas of love weren't as foolish as they seemed
But if I don't start looking now, then I'll be left behind
A good heart these days is so hard to find
Well, I know
It's a dream I'm willing to defend
I know
It will all be worth it in the end
And a good heart these days is hard to find
And true love, the lasting kind
And a good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
And a good heart these days is hard to find
And true love, the lasting kind
And a good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
