Straight to the Heart Lyrics

I know that it's late now but I had to call
So don't you hang up on me till I've said it all
It's a crazy situation but I can't handle it alone
So many complications, it's hard to tell you on the phone

While I'm unwinding
Let me give the bottom line
Come back home

Got a little heartache, you can make it better
Got a little heartache, it's tearing me apart
If you don't want to listen to what I say
I'm gonna give it to you anyway
Straight to the heart, straight to the heart

You could blame it on my actions
But I did not mean to hurt
I could blame your cold reactions
Tell me, did you mean those words?

Well, I guess it's true
Everything you say and do
Goes to my heart

Got a little heartache, you can make it better
Got a little heartache, it's tearing me apart
If you don't want to listen to what I say
I'm gonna give it to you anyway
Straight to the heart, straight to the heart
Well, I guess it's true
Everything you say and do
Goes to my heart

Got a little heartache, you can make it better
Got a little heartache, it's tearing me apart
If you don't want to listen to what I say
I'm gonna give it to you anyway
Straight to the heart, straight to the heart

Got a little heartache, you can make it better
Got a little heartache, it's tearing me apart
If you don't want to listen to what I say
I'm gonna give it to you anyway
Straight to the heart, straight to the heart

Got a little heartache, you can make it better
Got a little heartache, it's tearing me apart
If you don't want to listen to what I say
I'm gonna give it to you anyway
Straight to the heart, straight to the heart

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
