Straight From The Heart - Irma Thomas

Composed by：Irma Thomas

Do you need me like I need you

Look at me I'm crying from yearning you

They make me forget the pain that you 'cause

Understanding it's a great thing

If it comes from the heart

If time will stand still

While I'm thinking of you

I think of all the pain that I wanted of you

Make me forget the pain that you 'cause

Understanding it's a great thing

If it comes from the heart

Picking up the pieces

Of my broken heart

It was real hard

A fragile thing like life

It just don't last so long

It could be for a minute or an hour

Or then again from now

If time would stand still

While I'm thinking of you

I'd think of all the things that I wanted of you

To make me forget the pain that you caused

Understanding is a great thing

If it comes from the heart

Understanding's a great thing

Yes it is if it comes from the heart

Life is too fragile

Don't abuse it now

Time isn't promised to everyone
