[Chorus]
Straight from the heart
It's gonna take a little time
You got to walk a straight line
If you wanna win, yeah
Coming straight from the heart
It's gonna take a miracle
More than just a physical
More than a friend

[Verse 1]
When you fall in love
You're livin' on the razor's edge
Trapped by what you feel
You don't know if it's real
'Cause when you search for love
Pain is what you find instead
So for heaven's sake
You better learn how to wait

[Chorus]
Coming straight from the heart
It's gonna take a little time
You've got to walk a straight line
If you wanna win
Coming straight from the heart
It's gonna take a miracle
More than just a physical
More than a friend, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Protect yourself
Stay away from curious eyes
That don't know what they see
They'll never let you be
Now don't forget yourself
This world we live is filled with lies
Some don't understand
Some don't give a damn, no

[Bridge]
Straight from the heart
Straight from the heart
Straight from the heart

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Straight from the heart
It's gonna take a miracle
More than just a physical
More than a friend, yeah

[Bridge]
Care for me
Like I'm gonna care for you
I know we'll survive
Can we keep it alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Carry on
Doin' what you got to do
Time will provide
With love on our side

[Chorus]
Coming straight from the heart
It's gonna take a little time
Got to walk on a straight line
If you wanna win
If you really wanna win now
Coming straight from the heart
It's gonna take a miracle
More than just a physical
So much more than a friend...
