If I Had a Heart
Evangéline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If i had a heart that heart would be true
And if i had love it would only burn for you
If i had a love i'd know just what to do
But i don't feel nothing since i took the fall
Don't know what love is since i lost it all
And the thought of you would still tear me apart
If i had a heart if i had a heart
If i had the chance to do it all again
I'd take my time and give you all i had to spend
I'd try to show that my love had no end
If i had a chance to do it all again
But i don't feel nothing since i took the fall...
[ piano - fiddle ]
If i had you i'd try to make you see
If i had you you'd have the best of me
But the thought of you would still tear me apart
If i had a heart if i had a heart
And if i had the chance if i had a heart
And if i had you if i had a heart
If i had a heart if i had a heart if i had a heart
If i had a heart if i had a heart if i had a heart
