There's so many people
Out in the world just like me
Hoping to hear a few
Simple words to believe

And one honest touch is more than enough
For someone with no one to love
Though I'm afraid, my heart can be saved
And I'm not the kind to give up

Does anybody out there want
A second hand heart
One that's already broken in?
I think I made it through the hardest part
At least enough to try love again

There's a raging fire in me
A perfect match can start
If anybody out there wants
A second hand heart

I'm sleeping alone now
Till someone belongs in my dreams
I've got to be strong now
No matter how hard it seems

One honest touch is more than enough
For someone with no one to love
Though I'm afraid, my heart can be saved
I'm not the kind to give up

Does anybody out there want
A second hand heart
One that's already broken in?
I think I made it through the hardest part
At least enough to try love again

There's a raging fire in me
A perfect match can start
If anybody out there wants
My second hand heart
Anybody out there wants
My second hand heart
