Heart of Steel

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I shoulda known better

Than to run through a ring of fire

I shoulda known better

Than to shoot with a gun for hire

I shoulda known better

To repeat everything I seen

I shoulda known better

But now it don�t mean a thing

Deep down inside

I got a heart of steel

I�ll take the pain

Turn it in to something real

Deep down inside

I got a heart of gold

It�s too late

To change the past

I�ll be the first to admit

I shoulda left well enough alone

I shoulda known better

Than to sit back and watch it burn

I shoulda known better

Than to stick to the rules I've learned

I shoulda known better

Than to stare down the voodoo queen

I shoulda known better

But now it don�t mean a damn thing

Deep down inside

I got a heart of steel

I�ll take the pain

Turn it in to something real

Deep down inside

I got a heart of gold

It�s too late

To change the past

I�ll be the first to admit

I shoulda left well enough alone

(Deep down inside�)

Hey

Deep down inside

I got a heart of steel

I�ll take the pain

Turn it in to something real

Deep down inside

I got a heart of gold

It�s too late

To change the past

I�ll be the first to admit

I shoulda left well enough alone
