It's been klicking aroung since 72

and there's not a whole lot that it aint been through

Never quite learned to play by the rules

and there's one in every dream





(Chorus)

well it's hung around where it didn't belong

and given in when it shoul've been strong

and you think by now it would've turned to stone

But the flame burns bright as ever

Yeah the flame burns bright as ever



I got a rugh and tumble heart

well it took e few falls till it got smart

but it's still tender in the deepest part

this rough and tumble heart





well it's never lead a sheltered life

it knows love cuts deeper than the sharpest knife

and it struggled so long with the wrongs and rights

when there were no easy answer





Oh it beats so lonely in th estill of the night

needing someone to hold it tight

and it never will give pi the fight

for a love that lasts forever

a love that is forever



(Chorus)
