Текст песни If My Heart Could Tell The Story - Edwin Starr

If my heart could tell the story
It would tell how much I'm lonely
And of my bleeding heart inside
That's hoping for love (hoping for love)
Needing love (needing love)
Oh
If you look at me, you would see
A softly-spoken man
But deep inside, I try to hide
A hurt that I can't stand
Oh, no one understands
This proud but lonely man
Not wanting sympathy
But only wanting to be happy, oh
If my heart could tell the story
Then it would tell how much I'm lonely
And of my bleeding heart inside
That's hoping for love (hoping for love)
Needing love (needing love)
Oh
How much longer can I hold this
Heart full of despair?
You know I search for satisfaction
But I can't find it nowhere
Now on my face, I wear a smile (wear a smile)
But it's only there just a for a while
'Cause when the pretending ends
That's when heartache rushes in, oh
If my heart could tell the story
Then it would tell just how much I'm lonely
And of my bleeding heart inside
That's hoping for love (hoping for love)
Needing love (Needing love)
Oh
If my heart could tell the story
Then it would tell just how much I'm lonely
