I hear a lot of stories  I suppose they could be true  All about love  And what it can do to you    Highest 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 has quite a price    And a good heart, these days, is hard to find (a good heart)  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 learned  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 every day  I know, 'cause I listen when the experts say    That a good heart, these days, is hard to find (a good heart)  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 look back  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  It's hard to find    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 (a good heart)  True love, the lasting kind  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 (a good heart)  True love, the lasting kind  A good heart, these days, is hard to find  So please be gentle with this, with this heart (with this heart) of mine    A good heart  A good heart  A good heart  A good heart  A good heart  A good heart
