Her love was genuine, she saved it all for a man
 Not for a rainy day
 But she learned quickly, when he held another girl's hand
 That she has been left to say:
 "This ol' heart of mine, this worthless heart of mine...
 This ol' heart of mine, this worthless heart of mine..."
 She tries to display a face filled not with tears and dismay
 But he took her heart away
 She wonders how many times this hopeless cycle will turn
 Before a brighter day
 Bring back the sunshine, the wine and the roses
 For her that has taken so long
 She pleads for relief then when no one's in sight
 She's left singing the saddest of songs:
 "This ol' heart of mine, this worthless heart of mine...
 This ol' heart of mine, this worthless heart of mine..."
 Wipe all those tears away, don't give up yet
 Someday you'll look back and laugh
 (Someday you'll look back and laugh)
 All those bad memories, that you'll soon forget
 Will just fade like an old photograph
 Don't cry
 "This ol' heart of mine...
 This ol' heart of mine...
 This ol' heart of mine, tell me no more lies!
 This ol' heart of mine, tell me no more lies!"
