Ringo Starr – Heart On My Sleeve lyrics

By Benny Gallagher and Graham Lyle
Version: Album version (3:20)

I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY WHAT I MEAN,
MEAN WHAT I SAY.
I SET MYSELF UP, LET MYSELF DOWN,
I MAY BE A FOOL TO SPREAD IT AROUND.
BUT I JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES I FIND IT SO HARD NOT TO SHOW,
SO I SIGH AND I LET MY FEELINGS GO.

I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
DON'T COUNT THE COST,
IF I CAN'T LIVE IN LOVE THEN SURELY I'VE LOST.
YOU TEND TO GET BURNED, TEND TO GET BRUISED,
BUT IT'S MY LIFE WHATEVER I CHOOSE.
OH, I JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES I, I FIND IT SO HARD NOT TO SHOW,
SO I SIGH AND I LET MY FEELINGS GO.

I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE.
YOU TEND TO GET BURNED, TEND TO GET BRUISED,
BUT IT'S MY LIFE WHATEVER I CHOOSE.
OH, I JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW,
'CAUSE SOMETIMES I FIND IT SO HARD NOT TO SHOW,
SO I SIGH, BUT, BABY, YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

YOU WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE, (just like me)
YOU WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE.
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE.

I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE, (ah - ah)
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE, (ah - ah)
MM, MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,

BABY, YOU KNOW, I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE, (ah - ah)
OH, MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE.
YOU WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE, (ah - ah)
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE.
