COME FROM THE HEART

When I was a young girl,
My Daddy told me
A lesson he learned
It was a long time ago.
If you want to
Have someone to hold onto,
You're going to have to
Learn to let go.

You've got to sing like you don't need the money.
Love like you'll never get hurt.
You've got to dance like nobody's watching.
You've got to come from the heart,
If you want it to work.

Now here is the one thing,
I keep forgetting
When everything is falling apart.
In life as in love,
I need to remember,
There's such a thing as trying too hard.

You've got to sing like you don't need the money.
Love like you'll never get hurt.
You've got to dance like nobody's watching.
You've got to come from the heart,
If you want it to work.
