V2. My:// expectations may be high,
I blame that on my youth,
Soon enough I’ll learn the fateful 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.
Chorus,

V3. As:// I reflect 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 is 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.
Lyrics
All about love and what it can do for you
High is the risk of striking out, the risk of getting hurt
And still I have so much to learn
I know that real love is hard to find
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
Soon enough I’ll learn the painful truth
I’ll face it like a fighter then boast how I’ve grown
Anything is better than being alone
I know ’cause I listen when the experts say that
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
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 will be worth it in the end
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart
I find it hard
(baby, baby)
I find it hard
I find it hard
I find it hard
I find it hard (baby, baby)
I find it hard
I find it hard
