Straight to the Heart lyrics

I wake up in the mornin', face another day

Got to get the walls up that'll keep me safe

But if I stop and close my eyes, 

I see you in my mind

When I hear you speak my name, 

It happens every time

Straight to the heart

You got a way of gettin' through

Tearing my defenses down

Oh, that's what you do

Straight to the heart

You never ever miss the mark

Determined that I'll stand my ground

I think of you, the walls come tumblin' down

I never show the way I feel, always in control

In a world of push and shove, that's protocol

But when the pressure's buildin' up

And things are out of line

I close my eyes and look at you

It happens every time

You always go...

Straight to the heart

You got a way of gettin' through

Tearing my defenses down

Oh, that's what you do

You always go...

Straight to the heart

You never ever miss the mark

Determined that I'll stand my ground

I think of you, the walls come tumblin' down

You always go, yeah

Straight to the heart

You got a way of gettin' through

Tearing my defenses down

Oh, that's what you do

You always go...

Straight to the heart

You never ever miss the mark

Determined that I'll stand my ground

I think of you, the walls come tumblin' down

You got a way of gettin' through

You're tearing my defenses down

Oh, that's what you do

You always do it

Straight to the heart

You never ever miss the mark

Determined that I'll stand my ground

I think of you, the walls come tumblin' down

Walls come tumblin' down

Oh, that's what you do

Go straight to the heart

You never ever miss the mark
