Anyone Who Had A Heart
Linda Ronstadt · Other Songs - Linda Ronstadt
And know that I love you
Amyone who ever dreamed could look at me
And know I dream of you
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do
Every time you go away I always say
This time it's goodbye dear
Loving you the way I do I'd take you back
Without you I'd die dear
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
Anyone who had a heart would love me too
Anyone who had a heart would surely take me
In his arms and always love me
Why won't you, yeah
Anyone who had a heart would love me too
Anyone who had a heart would surely take me
In his arms and always love me
Why won't you
Yeah
Anyone who had a heart would love me too
