I hear a lot of stories, I suppose they could be true

All about love and what it can do for 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 hard to find

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 it on my youth

Soon enough I'll learn the painful truth

I'll face it like a fighter then boast 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 that...

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

As I reflect on all my childhood dreams

My ideas od love weren't as foolish as they seemed

If I don't start looking now I'll be left behind

And a good heart these days, it's hard to find

Well I know, it's a dream I'm willing to defend

I know it will be worth it in the end

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
