You've been a good friend of mine
We've always played by the rules
I'm crossing the boundary lines
At the risk of losing you
Oh there's skeletons in the closet
There's a crack in the wood
There's an unexpected ending tonight
I've been talking all around it
For as long as I could
But this time I'm gonna tell you
How I feel inside
I've gotta get to the heart of the matter
Gotta say that I've wanted you so long
Take it straight to the heart of the matter
I love you right or wrong
Maybe I've said too much
But it's too late to hide
I'm dying to know your touch
As well as I know your mind
There's a fire in the basement
There's a rise in the tide
There's whole lot of passion on the loose
It's so hard to contain it
When I feel so alive like I do
I'm ready to share my whole life with you
I've gotta get to the heart of the matter
Gotta say that I've wanted you so long
Take it straight to the heart of the matter
The center of it all
The love that I'm after
Is the heart of the matter
Forever is such an easy word today
But so difficult to do
It's better to know that if love ever fades
I'm a friend you'll never lose
You can't lose
I've gotta get to the heart of the matter
Gotta say that I've wanted you so long
Take it straight to the heart of the matter
Love you right or wrong
The love that I'm after
Is the heart of the matter
I've gotta get to the heart of the matter
Gotta say that I've wanted you so long
Take it straight to the heart of the matter
I gotta say I love you
Right or wrong
