Stray Heart
Green Day · ¡Dos! [2012]
Oh baby this stray heart
Went to another
Can you recover baby?
Oh you're the only one that I'm dreamin' of
Your precious heart
Was torn apart by me and
You're not alone
Oh oh and now I'm where I belong
Without a home
Oh oh I'll hold your heart and never let go
Everything that I want
I want from you
But I just can't have you
Everything that I need
I need from you
But I just can't have you
I've said it a thousand times
And now a thousand more
We'll never part
I'll never stray again from you
As always just you
Go home to your heart
We'll never part
I'll never stray again from you
You're not alone
Oh oh and I'm where I belong
Without a home
Oh oh I'll hold your heart and never let go
Everything I want
I want from you
But I just can't have you
Everything I need
I need from you
But I just can't have you
Without a home
Oh oh and I'm where I belong
Without a home
Oh oh I'll hold your heart and never let go
Everything I want
I want from you
But I just can't have you
Everything I need
I need from you
But I just can't have you
Everything I want
I want from you
But I just can't have you
Everything I need
I need from you
But I've got...
Just can't have you
