Aim for the Heart Songtext
von Ruthie Foster

Hmm, got a need for attention and I can′t keep it to myself
Man said he loved me, now he's off with somebody else
Grand mamma, can you help me? I can′t keep a man of my own
She said, 'Girl, aim for the heart, you'll never go wrong′

You can try your best to stay pretty
It might work while you′re in your prime
You get jealous of the young ones once your looks start to fade with time
Love is a perfect thing, there's nothing quite so strong, girl
Aim for the heart, you′ll never go wrong

Aim for the heart
Don't aim for the head
Aim for the heart
That′s what mamma said

It's not that easy but, oh, man, I was under your skin
I thought I didn′t need anyone but it made me think again
All the rules got broken when he came along
'Cause he aimed for the heart, then he did me wrong, yes


Aim for the heart
Don't aim for the head
Aim for the heart
That′s what mamma said

Now it′s gotten lonely
By myself in this king-sized bed
Tonight, I'm feeling empty
′Cause I can't get him out of my head
If I didn′t need him, I could start all over again
She got these blues for a brand-new friend

I got a need for attention and I can't keep it to myself
Man said he loved me but he′s given it to someone else
Grand mamma, can you help me? I can't keep a man of my own
She said, 'Girl, aim for the heart, you′ll never, never, go wrong′

Keep aiming for the heart, baby
Keep aiming for the heart, baby
Keep aiming for the heart, baby
Keep aiming for the heart, baby
Keep aiming for the heart, baby
Make a brand-new start, baby
Make a brand-new start, baby, yeah


Keep aiming for the heart (never go wrong, babe)
Keep aiming for the heart (never go wrong, babe)
Keep aiming for the heart (never go wrong, babe)
Keep aiming for the heart (never go wrong, babe)
Keep aiming for the heart (never go wrong, babe)
Never go wrong
Aim for the heart (woo)
