LYRICS

This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away I feel you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that flow
Bringin' ya back again, hurting me more and more
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
'cause each day that passes by
Ya got me never knowin' if I'm comin' or goin' but I

I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do
This old heart (ooh) darlin' is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do

These old arms of mine miss having you around
Makes these tears inside start falling down
Always with half a kiss you remind me of what I miss
Though I try to control myself
Like a fool I start grinnin' cause my head starts spinning.

I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do
This old heart (ooh) darlin' is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do
Yes I do

I try hard to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always keep me cryin'
The way you're treatin' me leaves me incomplete
You're here for the day, gone for the week

But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it, tell the world about it 'cause

I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you
