Hole In My Heart
Rick Springfield · Working Class Dog [1981]
Where are you running my love,
Through the backstreets of the city?
You're keeping an eye on the horizon
Looking over your shoulder
Must be some demon driving you
I must have looked like a prime one
Running after you like we still could survive
But nobody I've ever loved ever hurt me like you did
With that lack of feelin'
I've got a hole in my heart
You know that I've got a hole in my heart
But I won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore
You're nothing but a taker
A real heartbreaker
Who ever hurt you so long ago must have been a master
But you're learning fast
I've got a hole in my heart
You know that I've got a hole in my heart
But I won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore
Nobody I've ever loved ever hurt me like you did
With that lack of feelin'
I've got a hole in my heart
You know that I've got a hole in my heart
But I won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore
I've got a hole in my heart
I've got a hole in my heart
I've got a hole in my heart
Through the backstreets of the city?
You're keeping an eye on the horizon
Looking over your shoulder
Must be some demon driving you
I must have looked like a prime one
Running after you like we still could survive
But nobody I've ever loved ever hurt me like you did
With that lack of feelin'
I've got a hole in my heart
You know that I've got a hole in my heart
But I won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore
You're nothing but a taker
A real heartbreaker
Who ever hurt you so long ago must have been a master
But you're learning fast
I've got a hole in my heart
You know that I've got a hole in my heart
But I won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore
Nobody I've ever loved ever hurt me like you did
With that lack of feelin'
I've got a hole in my heart
You know that I've got a hole in my heart
But I won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore
I've got a hole in my heart
I've got a hole in my heart
I've got a hole in my heart
