There's no need to hide anything
Baby just know what you bring
Will always be enough
All of those things that you do
Are the reasons that I fell for you
And why, I believe in us

[Chorus]
Baby shoot straight from your heart
You'll never miss your mark
Baby always shoot straight from your heart
Let truth be the path that you choose
There ain't no way we can lose
Baby always shoot straight from your heart

We're gonna make some mistakes
'Cause baby I sure ain't no saint
I swear I'm in for the long haul
It doesn't matter how far
I love you just how you are
I will answer when you call

[Chorus]
