Straight From The Heart Lyrics by Irma Thomas

Do you need me like I need you
Look at me I'm crying from wanting you

Make me forget the pain that you cause
Understanding it's a great thing
If it comes from the heart

If time will stand still
While I'm thinking of you
I think of all the pain that I wanted of you

To make me forget the pain that you cause
Understanding it's a great thing
If it comes from the heart

Picking up the pieces
Of my broken heart
It was real hard

A fragile thing like life
It just don't last so long
It could be for a minute, or an hour
or then again from now on

If time will stand still
While I'm thinking of you
I think of all the pain that I wanted of you

To make me forget the pain that you cause
Understanding it's a great thing, yeah, yeah, yeah
If it comes from the heart
(Understanding's a great thing)
Yes it is, if it comes from the heart

Life is too fragile
Don't abuse it now...
