[Intro: Martin L. Gore]
I spoke from my heart

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?
I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan, (Martin L. Gore)]
There's a sun shining in the sky
But that's not the reason why
I'm feeling warm inside (Let me tell you)
The answer isn't classified; it's my heart (Let me tell you)
From the moment I started
I tried to be good about it
Yes, I've tried my best (Let me tell you)
And more or less, I spoke from my heart (Let me tell you)

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?
I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Hearts can never be owned
Hearts only come on loan
If I want it back
I will take it back, I'll take my heart
But I will try my best
And more or less, I will speak from my heart
Yes, I will speak from my heart
Speak from my heart

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?
I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Hearts can never be owned
Hearts only come on loan
If I want it back
I will take it back, I'll take my heart
But I will try my best
And more or less, I will speak from my heart
Yes, I will speak from my heart
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burnt
