This Poor Heart of Mine Songtext

von Marvin Gaye

It is actually Val Simpson who sings on this song.

HIM: Ooo heartburn, cold chills
Dizzy spells, I bite my fingernails
I don't think I'm gonna pull through
Everything depends on you
Only your love can save this poor heart of mine
Situation: desperate; honey, save this poor heart of mine

HER: Oh dark days, empty nights
Without your arms to hold me tight
I don't know how long I'm gonna last
So come back baby, I'm sinking fast
Only your love can save this poor heart of mine
Situation: desperate; baby, save this poor heart of mine

HER: Baby, you left me in a burning condition
HIM: And my love, to you, has become my affliction
BOTH: Ooo you know my need for you
Is oh so strong it's like fire set up in my bones
Only your love can save this poor heart of mine
Situation: desperate; baby, save this poor heart of mine

HER: Oh I don't think I'm gonna pull through
HIM: Everything depends on you

(repeat and fade):
BOTH: Only your love can save this poor heart of mine
Situation: desperate; ohney, save this poor heart of mine
