Текст Edwin Starr – If My Heart Could Tell The Story

If my heart could tell the story
It would tell how much I’m lonely
And of my bleeding heart inside
That’s open for love

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
As proud but lonely man
Not only sympathy
But only wanting to be happy

If my heart could tell the story
It would tell how much I’m lonely
And of my bleeding heart inside
That’s open for love
Needing love
Oh

How much longer can I hold this
Heart full of despair
You know I search for satisfaction
But I can find it nowhere
Now on my face, I wear a smile
But it’s only there just a for a while
‘Cause when the pretending ends
That’s when heartache rushes in

If my heart could tell the story
Then it would tell how much I’m lonely
