Lyrics

My black and blue heart
Has known better days,
Mistreated and used
In so many ways.
It's battered and bruised,
And falling apart,
But there's still some love in
This black and blue heart.

This black and blue heart
Is aching you know,
You say you don't want me
But I can't let you go.
You hurt me so badly,
And you tear me apart,
Your love is a pain
In my black and blue heart.

But I won't be defeated,
And you won't make me cry.
This heart will go on beating,
I'll love you 'til the day I die.

My black and blue heart
Has seen better days,
But it goes on beating
And loving always.

(Instrumental)

My black and blue heart
Has known better days.
Mistreated and used
In so many ways.
It's battered and bruised,
And falling apart.
But I've so much love in this
Poor old black and blue heart.
