  This old heart of mine  
 been broke a thousand times   
 
  
  Each time you break away  
 I feel you`re gone to stay   
 
  
  Lonely nights that  
 come, memories that flow   
 
  
  Bringin` ya back again,  
 hurting me more and more   
 
  
    
 
  
  Maybe it`s my mistake to show  
 this love that I feel inside   
 
  
  `cause each day that passes by   
 
  
  Ya got me never knowin`  
 if I`m comin` or goin` `cause   
 
  
    
 
  
  I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do   
 
  
  This old heart (ooh)   
 
  
  I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do   
 
  
  Yes, I do, wait for me   
 
  
    
 
  
  I try hard to  
 hide my hurt inside   
 
  
  This old heart of  
 mine always keep me cryin`   
 
  
  The way you`re treatin`  
 me leaves me incomplete   
 
  
  Yeah, you`re here for the  
 day, gone for the week   
 
  
    
 
  
  But if you leave  
 me a hundred times   
 
  
  A hundred times  
 I`ll take you back   
 
  
  I`m yours whenever you want   
 
  
  I`m not too proud to shout  
 it, tell the world about it `cause   
 
  
    
 
  
  I love you-ou-ou   
 
  
  This old heart (this  
 old heart) waits for you   
 
  
  SPOKEN: And I love ya!   
 
  
    
 
  
  I love you-ou-ou (hoo hoo)   
 
  
  This old heart waits for you This old  
 heart of mine been broke a thousand times   
 
  
  Each time you break away  
 I feel you`re gone to stay   
 
  
  Lonely nights that  
 come, memories that flow   
 
  
  Bringin` ya back again,  
 hurtin` me more and more   
 
  
    
 
  
  Maybe it`s my mistake to show  
 this love I feel inside, girl   
 
  
  `cause each day that passes by   
 
  
  Ya got me never knowin`  
 if I`m comin` or goin` `cause   
 
  
    
 
  
  I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do  
 (old heart of mine waits for you)   
 
  
  I lo-o-o-ove you, yes, I do   
 
  
  Yes, I do   
 
  
  I lo-o-o-ove you   
 
  
  This old heart,  
 darlin` (this old heart)   
 
  
  Will wait for you   
 
  
  I love you-ou-ou-ou   
 
  
  This old heart,  
 darlin` (this old heart)   
 
  
  Will wait for you I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do, yes, I-I-I-I  
 do I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do, yes, I-I-I-I do I love you   
 
  
    
 
  
  Oh, yeah, been  
 broke a thousand times
