It seems it's getting harder Yeah, it's so hard to find a lover Okay, the boys are getting better But, they still fall down under Close examination, baby It used to be essential, yeah But, that was purely elemental Investigations always led to One way conversations It took me a little while to get Myself acquainted I'm just about ready for the Right inspiration C'mon now
Chorus: Heart don't fail me now Could he be the one I've waited for Oh, yeah Could he be the one being that I miss around here He could be the one He could be the one
I wake up every morning Inside my private little jewel box It's not so bad to be alone Don't want no substitution I'd rather be alone than with someone and lonely It'd take much more Than strong arms to hold me C'mon now
Chorus
He could be the one
Heart don't fail me now Don't mess my mind up Ooh, don't you fail me now It's no wonder I'm so tough Heart don't fail me now
Don't mess my mind up I've come too far
Heart don't fail me now Don't mess my mind up Ooh, don't you fail me now It's no wonder I'm so tough Heart don't fail me now
Heart don't fail me now (5x)
