[Verse 1]
They were married in September, back in 1969
They travelled east of India to find some peace of mind
They [?], they were children of their time, woah, woah

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, they lived in a world that was cold and a-caring
Swear there were changes [?] loving and sharing
They never leave, like their parents had done
Their innocence shone like the sun

[Chorus]
American hearts (American hearts)
So filled with emotion
American hearts (American hearts)
Ooh, so easily broken

[Verse 2]
Now they got a [?] and a cottage in the hills
He's always workin' late to pay the mortgage and the bills
And she has [?] so the doctor gives her pills, woah, woah
Ooh, just look at her

[Pre-Chorus]
Who are these strangers who used to be lovers?
Now they got nothing to say to each other
Too far apart to discuss their mistakes
They [?] and the brave
[Chorus]
American hearts (American hearts)
So filled with emotion
American hearts (American hearts)
Ooh, so easily broken

[Bridge]
All they needed was love
All they needed was love
All they needed was love
(All they needed was love) Ooh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Now that it's over, they'll each go living
Never forgetting but somehow forgiving
They care for their children, protect them with pride
And that's how the dream will survive

[Chorus]
American hearts (American hearts)
So filled with emotion
American hearts (American hearts)
Ooh, so easily broken
Ooh, ooh, oh

[Outro]
Oh, oh, American hearts (American hearts)
So filled with emotion
American hearts (American hearts)
So easily broken
Now you can feel the pain inside, [?] (American hearts)
(American hearts)
And I feel love (American hearts)
Ooh, love (American hearts)
[Scatting] (American hearts)
(American hearts)
Ooh, I feel love (American hearts)
[Scatting]
