my poor old heart

i've been a fool for love

ever since i was a baby

just a rockin' 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

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

well i ought to know by now

after all these dead-end heartache lessons

i can go without

going through hell tryin' 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

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

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
