[Verse 1]
My ears must be connected to my heart
I found out when you said we had to part
At first I couldn't believe that I had heard it (Heard it)
How could you have fixed your mouth to word it? (Word it)
I thought that you had come so you could hold me (Hold me)
I just couldn't believe that you had told me (Told me)

[Chorus]
We must part, oh, my baby
I heard it with my ears, but a pain ran through my heart
Poor heart
Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
My heart must be connected to my eyes
Something I had never realized
Until I saw you walking out of my door (My door)
Saying that I never see you anymore (Anymore)
At first I couldn't believe what I was seeing (Seeing)
You don't know the shape that you left me in

[Chorus]
When we had to part, oh, my baby
I saw you with my eyes, but a pain ran through my heart
Poor heart
Oh, yeah
[Bridge]
My lips can only miss, the way we used to kiss
My eyes can only let the tears rain
My ears can hear the news of a new love you may choose
But my poor heart, it has to stand the pain

[Verse 3]
Now my arms must be connected to my heart (Yeah)
'Cause ever since the day we had to part (Yeah)
Baby, I don't think I ever told you (Told you)
But my arms are aching just to hold you (Hold you)
At first I couldn't believe my arms had freed you (Freed you)
Come on back to me because I need you (Need you)

[Chorus]
To make a new start, baby
Come let my eyes look your way (One more time)
Come let my ears hear you say (You'll be mine)
Come let my arms wrap around you and hold you close to my heart
Poor heart
Oh, yeah, to my heart
Poor ...
