Lyrics:

1981
Writers: Larry Gatlin

The heart is a funny thing with a mind all its own
It withers just like a garden left unattended and alone
And the thorns of a lonelyness in vain and destroy what they can steal
So easy to hurt, but, oh, so hard to heal

I know, I've had it happen to me time and time again
And it feels just like being turned down by your one and only friend
So don't fool yourself by sayin' that it won't hurt, the pain ain't real
So easy to hurt, but, oh, so hard to heal

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
So easy to hurt, but, oh, so hard to heal
So easy to hurt, but, oh, so hard to heal
