[Pre-Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burnt

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?
I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart

[Interlude]

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
There's a sun shining in the sky
But that's not the reason why
I'm feeling warm inside
The answer isn't classified; it's my heart
From the moment I started
I tried to be good about it
Yes, I've tried my best
And more or less, I spoke from my heart
[Pre-Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burnt
There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burnt

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?
I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly

[Outro: Dave Gahan]
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
