Music: jud j. friedman, allan rich, lyrics: jud j. friedman, allan rich

Your face is beaming, you say it's cause you're dreaming of
How good it's going to be
You say you've been around and now you've finally found

Chorus:
I don't have the heart to hurt you
It's the last thing i want to do
But i don't have the heart to love you
Not the way you want me to

Inside i'm dying, to see you cryin'
How can i make you understand
I care about you, so much about you
Baby i'm trying to say this as gently as i can 'cause

Chorus:
I don't have the heart to hurt you
It's the last thing i want to do
But i don't have the heart to love you
Not the way you want me to

You're so trusting, and open
Hoping that love will start
But i don't have the heart
Oh no, i don't have the heart

Chorus:
I don't have the heart to hurt you
It's the last thing i want to do
But i don't have the heart to love you
Not the way you want me to

I don't have the heart
Baby, i don't have the heart
Baby, i don't have the heart
