I've heard a lot of stories, I suppose they could be true,
All about love and what it can do to you,
High is the risk of striking out, the risk of getting hurt,
And still I have so much to learn,
Well I know 'cause I think about it all the time,
I know that real love is quite a prize

Chorus:

And a good heart these days is hard to find,
True love the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine

My expectations may be high, I blame that on my youth,
Soon enough I'll learn the fateful truth,
I'll face it like a fighter, then boast of how I've grown,
Anything is better than being alone,
Well I know 'cause I learn a little every day
I know 'cause I listen when the experts say

Chorus

That a ............

As I reflect on all my childhood dreams
My ideas of love weren't as foolish as they seemed
If I don't start looking now then I'll be left behind,
And a good heart these days is hard to find,
I know it's a dream I'm willing to defend,
I know it will all be worth it in the end.
