Come From The Heart Lyrics - Kathy Mattea

(Susanna Clark/Richard Leigh) 

My daddy told me when I was a young girl 

A lesson he learned, it was a long time ago 

If you want to have someone to hold onto 

You're gonna have to learn to let go 

You got to sing like you don't need the money 

Love like you'll never get hurt 

You got to dance like nobody's watchin' 

It's gotta come from the heart 

If you want it to work 

Now here is the one thing I keep forgettin' 

When everything is falling apart 

In life as in love, you know I need to remember 

There's such a thing as trying too hard 

You got to sing like you don't need the money 

Love like you'll never get hurt 

You got to dance like nobody's watchin' 

It's gotta come from the heart 

If you want it to work 

You got to sing sometimes like you don't need the money 

Love sometimes like you'll never get hurt 

You got to dance, dance, dance like nobody's watchin' 

It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
