But in this stormy weather
I made you cry, yeah yeah
So I find myself without you
I was dumb enough to doubt you
Don't ask me why , yeah
How long is it since I held you?
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I know I get by
But how can my soul survive without you
Straight to my heart
Love's a bitter sting
But I still miss everything about you
Straight to my heart
Now every tear you cry goes
Straight to my heart.
Straight to my heart.
And so another week has gone by
My love life's still on standby
Don't make me wait, no no no
I'm wrong
And now it's time I told you
You're the one that I need in my life
yeah yeah yeah yeah
I know I get by
But how can my soul survive without you
Straight to my heart
Love's a bitter sting
But I still miss everything about you
Straight to my heart
Now every tear you cry goes
Straight to my heart.
Straight to my heart
I'm looking for forgiveness
In my prayers tonight
Without your absolution
There's just empty words fading with the light
I know I get by
But how can my soul survive without you
Straight to my heart
Love's a bitter sting
But I still miss everything about you
Straight to my heart
Now every tear you cry goes
Straight to my heart.
Straight to my heart.
Straight to your heart
Straight to your heart now baby
