Randy Travis - My Poor Old Heart lyrics

My Poor Old Heart

I've been a fool for love

Ever since I was a baby

Just a rockin' in a cradle

As a rule I was the kind

That laid his feelings

Up front and on the table.

I gave up my world so many times

Just to see 'em tear it apart

Oh, Lord have a little bit of pity

On my poor old heart.

I wonder just how many times

A broken heart can mend

Just when I get back on my feet

Lord, I always fall again.

Bruises, burns, lies, goodbyes

They've all left some scars

Oh, Lord have a little bit of pity

On my poor old heart.

--- Instrumental ---

I oughta know by now

After all this debt

And heartache lessons

I could go without

Going through hell

Just to find a little heaven.

Seems to me every woman I meet

Has leavin' down to an art

Oh, Lord have a little bit of pity

On my poor old heart.

I wonder just how many times

A broken heart can mend

Just when I get back on my feet

Lord, I always fall again.

Bruises, burns, lies, goodbyes

They've all left some scars

Oh, Lord have a little bit of pity

On my poor old heart.

Bruises, burns, lies, goodbyes

They've all left some scars

Oh, Lord have a little bit of pity

On my poor old heart.

Hey, Lord have a little bit of pity

On my poor old heart...
