Heart Shaped Hole Songtext
von Guy Forsyth

Get yourself a good look
I know you know my name
I′ve heard the word around old town
And I'm sure you′ve heard the same

The first clown who stares me down
Gets a blanket made of cold
It's like my momma told me twice
I was born with a heart-shaped hole
I was born with a heart-shaped hole

On the day that I was born
They all passed me around
Saying how did this come to be
That I should be drowned

The doc he said as he shook his head
Washed his hands in a bowl
Nothing to be done about him
Leave him in the heart-shaped hole


Heart-shaped hole
Heart-shaped hole
You can't cover it with silver
You can′t fill it up with gold
Heart-shaped hole
Heart-shaped hole
O-oo-oh mama
Nothing fills a heart-shaped hole

Well pretty is as pretty does
What′s that mean to you?
A woman tried to seal my side
I guess she heard that too

I threw myself against her like
A dog left in the cold
But nothing burns for long around here
Buried in a heart-shaped hole

Heart-shaped hole
Heart-shaped hole
You can't cover it with silver
You can′t fill it up with gold
Heart-shaped hole
Heart-shaped hole
O-oo-oh momma
Nothing fills a heart-shaped hole


Well I read the Bible
And I read the Dawt e che
And I tracked momma down
To see if she would say

Momma who can teach
What my whole lesson is about
Nobody save you she says
Fill it from the inside out

Heart-shaped hole
Heart-shaped hole
You can't cover it with silver
You can′t fill it up with gold
Heart-shaped hole
Heart-shaped hole
O-oo-oh mama
Nothing fills a heart-shaped hole
