Heart Like A Wheel
Steve Miller Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a heart like a wheel
Feel like I got to roll
Oh
Heart like a wheel

I told you so
And I've been loving you for so long
You are the one
Heart so real

I love you so
Well, I can give what I take
And you know I want to give you my love
Babe I ain't faking

You know I want to give you my love
I've been loving you for so long
You are the one
Heart so real

I love you so
Come on and roll
I've been loving you for so long
You are the one

Heart so real
I love you so
It takes two to make love
It takes love to make a family real

I got to know what you need
I got to know what you really feel
And I've been loving you for so long
You are the one

Heart so real
I love you so
Come on and roll
You know it's such a pity

If you're going to get the summertime blues
Lovers everywhere are pairing off two by twos
And I've been loving you for so long
You are the one

Heart so real
I love you so
I've been loving you for so long
You are the one

Heart so real
I love you so
I've got a heart like a wheel
I love you so





I've got a heart like a wheel
I've got to roll
