Straight From the Heart Songtext
von Irma Thomas

Do you need me
Like I need you?
Look at me, I′m crying
From holding you

Make me forget
The pain that you caused
Understanding is a great thing
If it comes from the heart

If time would stand still
While I'm thinking of you
I′d think of all the things
That I wanted of you

To make me forget
The pain that you caused
Understanding is a great thing
If it comes from the heart


Picking up the pieces
Of my broken heart
It was real hard
A fragile thing like life
It just don't last so long
It could be for a minute or an hour
Or then again, from now on

If time would stand still
While I'm thinking of you
I′d think of all the pain
That I wanted of you

To make me forget
The pain that you caused
Understanding it′s a great thing, yeah, yeah, yeah
If it comes from the heart

(Understanding's a great thing)
Yes, it is, if it comes from the heart
Life is too fragile
Don′t abuse it now
Time isn't promised to everyone
