[English]

When people talk of love

I'll lead the conversation

I'll say I feel just fine

Happy with my situation

But when I look away, huh

People know my mind straying

To where I once belonged

Dreaming about your heart again

(Your heart again, your heart again)

Let me in your heart again

We like to face the blues

I give you satisfaction (It's your heart again)

Despair was on your mind

I gave you the right direction (It's your heart again)

So don't you walk away

Remember it's my heart your breaking

You forget we were in love

Now my heart is only filled with pain

(Your heart again, your heart again)

Let me in your heart again

Oh, my love, I want you to stay

Don't leave me now or I'll just fade away

Oh, my love, don't hurt me this way

Don't make me wait too long or I'll lose my mind

When people talk of love

I have no hesitation (It's your heart again)

Tell me what you're dreaming of

I'll hold a conversation for you babe (It's your heart again)

But when I look away, huh

People know my mind straying

To where I once belonged

Just let me in your heart again

Your heart again

Oh, let me in your heart again

Open the doors for me, babe

Your heart again

Let me in

Hey, live

Let me live

Let me love and live in your heart again
