I swore the day she left me that I would never fall in love in again
'Cause when you love somebody
They're only gonna hurt you in the end
So I wrapped up all my memories
And I put 'em on a shelf
Now I find that after all this time of livin' by myself
I need a heart to come home to
Someone I can tell my secrets to
I need a heart to hold on to
I need a sweetheart like you
'Cause I can buy the groceries
And I can cook 'em on my own
And I can pay the bills
But I don't have to lie here all alone
And this lonely old apartment seems like a prison cell
When I get that empty feelin'
That I know all too well
I need a heart to come home
To give me all the love I never knew
I need a heart to hold on to
I need a sweet, sweetheart like you
Somethin' happened the night you kissed me
Ahhh, my will to love was born again
Your tenderness has convinced me
What I lonely fool I've been
I need a heart to come home to
Someone I can tell my secrets to
I need a heart to hold on to
I need a sweetheart like you
I need a sweetheart like you
