Straight from the Heart Lyrics by Irma Thomas

Wish Someone Would Care

0

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
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
(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
