Like A Great Heart

Well, it goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing  Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh I'm not here to say I'm a great dog I'm not here to lie to you Some people wait a lifetime For a heart like this Some people search forever For that one great heart Ohh I can't believe it's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime For a heart like this I'm not here to say I'm a great dog I'm not here to lie to you There's still a little bit of your angel on my mind There's still a little bit of you laced with my doubt It's still a little hard to say what's going on There's still a little bit of your angel, your grubby angel There's still a little bit of your heart I haven't ate You step a little closer each day that I can't say what's going on An angel taught me ...

You find so many people are inviting But you, you are mostly exciting Charming, terrific and remarkable, Exciting and funny too, Are the qualities of you You find so many people are squinny But you, you are mostly funny
