The Broken Heart Song

tune

I need a new heart 'cause my heart's broke.

I need a new heart 'cause you gave me a stroke.

My left atrium's wrecked and my right ventricle's shot-

I need a true heart, and your heart's not.


You've done irreversible harm

Left me rubbing my left arm

When you said you were going away-y-ay-y-ay-y-ay

Now modern science can't

Do a thing without a transplant

And I've only got a couple more day-y-ay-y-ay-y-ays


Ooooh, help me now, my world is spinning round and round

My chest is tearing apart… I need a new heart…


I need a new heart 'cause my heart's broke.

I need a new heart 'cause you gave me a stroke.

My left atrium's wrecked and my right ventricle's shot-

I need a true heart, and your heart's not.


My aorta's gone berserk

My vena cava won't work

My papillary muscles won't palpitate no more

The pulmonary valve is ripped

And my septum is stripped

Off and lying over there on the floor-or-or-or-or


Ooooh, help me now, my world is spinning round and round

My chest is tearing apart… I need a new heart…


I need a new heart 'cause my heart's broke.

Been feelin' down ever since that stroke.

Now my left atrium's wrecked and my right ventricle's shot-

I need a true heart, and your heart's not.
