and there's not a whole lot  that it aint been through
Never  quite  learned to play  by the rules
and there's one in every dream


(Chorus)
well it's  hung around  where it didn't belong
and given in when  it shoul've  been strong
and you think by now  it would've  turned to stone
But the flame burns  bright  as ever
Yeah  the flame burns bright as ever

I got a rugh and tumble heart
well it took e few falls till it got smart
but it's still tender in the deepest  part
this rough and tumble heart


well  it's  never lead a sheltered life
it knows love cuts deeper than the sharpest knife
and it struggled so long  with the wrongs and rights
when there were no easy answer


Oh  it beats so lonely in th estill of the night
needing someone to hold it tight
and it never will give pi the fight
for a love that lasts forever
a love that is forever

(Chorus
