"I Think I Need A New Heart" lyrics

"I Think I Need A New Heart"

Time stands still
All I can feel
Is the time standing still
As you put down the keys
And say, "Don't call me, please,"
While the radio plays

"I Think I Need a New Heart". Oh
"I Think I Need a New Heart". Oh

You've lied, too
But it's a sin that I can't tell the truth
'Cause it all comes out wrong
Unless I put it in a song
So the radio plays

"I Think I Need a New Heart" just for you
"I Think I Need a New Heart"

'Cause I always say "I love you"
When I mean turn out the light
And I say "Let's run away"
When I just mean stay the night
But the words you want to hear
You will never hear from me
I'll never say "Happy anniversary"
Never stay to say
"Happy anniversary"

So I think I need a new heart, oh
I think I need a new heart, oh
I think I need a new heart, oh
I think I need a new heart, oh
Give me time
