Get yourself a good look I know you know my name I've heard the word around old town And I'm sure you've heard the same The first clown who stares me down Gets a blanket made of cold It's like my momma told me twice I was born with a heart-shaped hole I was born with a heart-shaped hole On the day that I was born They all passed me around Saying how did this come to be That I should be drowned The doc he said as he shook his head Washed his hands in a bowl Nothing to be done about him Leave him in the heart-shaped hole Heart-shaped hole Heart-shaped hole You can't cover it with silver You can't fill it up with gold Heart-shaped hole Heart-shaped hole O-oo-oh mama Nothing fills a heart-shaped hole Well pretty is as pretty does What's that mean to you? A woman tried to seal my side I guess she heard that too I threw myself against her like A dog left in the cold But nothing burns for long around here Buried in a heart-shaped hole Heart-shaped hole Heart-shaped hole You can't cover it with silver You can't fill it up with gold Heart-shaped hole Heart-shaped hole O-oo-oh momma Nothing fills a heart-shaped hole Well I read the Bible And I read the Dawt e che And I tracked momma down To see if she would say Momma who can teach What my whole lesson is about Nobody save you she says Fill it from the inside out Heart-shaped hole Heart-shaped hole You can't cover it with silver You can't fill it up with gold Heart-shaped hole Heart-shaped hole O-oo-oh mama Nothing fills a heart-shaped hole
