Heart Don't Fail Me Now lyrics

It seems it's getting harder,

yeah, it's so hard to find a lover.

Okay, the boys are getting better,

but they still fall down under

close examination, baby.

It used to be essential, yeah,

but that was purely elemental.

Investigations always led to

one-way conversations.

It took me a little while 

to get myself acquainted.

I'm just about ready 

for the right inspiration.

Come on, now.

Heart, don't fail me now.

Could he be the one

I've waited for?

Oh, yeah.

Could he be the one 

being that I miss around here?

He could be the one.

(He could be the one)

Yes, he could be the one.

(He could be the one)

I wake up every morning

inside my private little jewel box.

It's not so bad to be alone,

don't want no substitution.

I'd rather be alone 

than with someone and lonely.

It would take much more

than strong arms to hold me.

Come on, now.

Heart, don't fail me now.

(Don't fail me now)

Could he be the one

I've waited for?

Oh, yeah.

Could he be the one 

being that I miss around here?

He could be the one.

(Be the one)

Yes, he could be the one.

(Be the one)

He could be the one,

be the one, be the one.

(He could be) the one.

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He could be the one.

Heart, don't fail me now,

don't mess my mind up.

Ooh, don't you fail me now,

it's no wonder I'm so tough.

Heart, don't fail me now,

don't mess my mind up.  

I've come too far.

I said, heart, don't fail me now,

don't mess my mind up.

Ooh, don't you fail me now,

it's no wonder I'm so tough.

Heart, don't fail me now.

I said, heart, don't fail me now.

Come on, now.

Heart, don't fail me now. 

Yeah, heart, don't fail me now. 

Come on, now.

Heart, don't fail me now. 

Yeah, heart, don't fail me now. 

(Oh, girl)
