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.
What's a heart good for?
(What's a heart?)
What is a heart good for?
I don't believe I'm sure
No, no, no, no, no
What is a heart good for
When there's no love in store?
I wanna be yours
But will the morning still find you here?
Wanting you, I've got to be yours
'Cause now I see I've only played
Needing you, I played
Wanting you (wanting you)
Loving you (loving you)
Knowing you (knowing you)
Showing you, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What is a heart good for?
I don't believe I'm sure
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
What is a heart good for
When there's no love in store?
Leaving me here
Could only leave the both of us
Girl, I'm losing
Can you ignore
The part of me that is a part of you?
Yes, it's wasting slowly
Dying (dying)
Lying (lying)
Crying (crying)
Sighing
Tell me (what is a heart good for?)
What is a heart good for?
Ooh, I don't believe I'm sure
What is a heart good for
When there's no love in store?
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, doo-doo-doo
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(What's a heart) what's a heart (good for?)
Understandin', carin' and sharin'
Livin' and lovin' (what's a heart)
Lovin' you, lovin' you, knowin' you, showin' you, baby
(Good for?)
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
What's a heart, what's a heart
(Good for?)
Understandin', carin' and sharin'
Livin' and lovin'
(What's a heart)
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
(Good for?)
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
What's a heart, what's a heart, what's a heart
(What's a heart)
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
(Good for?)
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Lovin' you, lovin' you, knowin' you, showin' you, baby
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
(What's a heart) what's a heart (good for?)
