Heart of Steel Lyrics

(Feat. Irma Thomas)
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
Than 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 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?)
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
