  • 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

    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 of 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

    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

    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

    With this heart of mine
    I find it hard
    (baby, baby)
    I find it hard
    I find it hard
    I find it hard
    I find it hard (baby, baby)
    I find it hard
    I find it hard Writer/s: Maria Louisa Mc Kee
