Heart Shaped Hole - Guy Forsyth

Get yourself a good look

I know you know my name

I’ve heard the word around old town

And I’m sure you’ve heard the same

The first clown who stares me down

Gets a blanket made of cold

It’s like my momma told me twice

I was born with a heart-shaped hole

I was born with a heart-shaped hole

On the day that I was born

They all passed me around

Saying how did this come to be

That I should be drowned

The doc he said as he shook his head

Washed his hands in a bowl

Nothing to be done about him

Leave him in the heart-shaped hole

Heart-shaped hole

Heart-shaped hole

You can’t cover it with silver

You can’t fill it up with gold

Heart-shaped hole

Heart-shaped hole

O-oo-oh mama

Nothing fills a heart-shaped hole

Well pretty is as pretty does

What’s that mean to you?

A woman tried to seal my side

I guess she heard that too

I threw myself against her like

A dog left in the cold

But nothing burns for long around here

Buried in a heart-shaped hole

Heart-shaped hole

Heart-shaped hole

You can’t cover it with silver

You can’t fill it up with gold

Heart-shaped hole

Heart-shaped hole

O-oo-oh momma

Nothing fills a heart-shaped hole

Well I read the Bible

And I read the Dawt e che

And I tracked momma down

To see if she would say

Momma who can teach

What my whole lesson is about

Nobody save you she says

Fill it from the inside out

Heart-shaped hole

Heart-shaped hole

You can’t cover it with silver

You can’t fill it up with gold

Heart-shaped hole

Heart-shaped hole

O-oo-oh mama

Nothing fills a heart-shaped hole
