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)
