[Verse 1]
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I'm not afraid to say what i mean
Mean what i say
I set myself up, let myself down
I may be a fool to spread it around

[Chorus]
But i just wanna let you know
Sometimes i find it so hard not to show
So i sigh and i let my feelings go

[Verse 2]
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Don't count the cost
If i can't live in love then surely i've lost
You tend to get burned, tend to get bruised
But it's my life whatever i choose

[Chorus]
Oh, i just wanna let you know
Sometimes i, i find it so hard not to show
So i sigh and i let my feelings go

[Verse 3]
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I wear my heart on my sleeve
You tend to get burned, tend to get bruised
But it's my life whatever i choose

[Chorus]
Oh, i just wanna let you know
'Cause sometimes i find it so hard not to show
So i sigh, but, baby, you're not alone

[Outro]
You wear your heart on your sleeve, (just like me)
You wear your heart on your sleeve
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I wear my heart on my sleeve, (ah - ah)
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I wear my heart on my sleeve, (ah - ah)
Mm, my heart on my sleeve

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
