Kristin Lems: Song Lyrics

The title song of the first album always will have a special place in my heart.

Oh Mama, it's hurtin even worse
Love is such a blessing and love is such a curse
Startin is so easy, partin is a pain
Always gettin this heart involved will drive me insane

Oh Mama, I never seem to learn
You told me more than once how much a soul can burn
But standin by the fire's heat felt so good
I burned myself just like you knew I would

Everyone I know has had a hurt or two
Some cannot recover; most pretend they do
We get knocked over, come back for more -
Tell me, do you think that's what a heart is for?

When the end comes, you know it hurts so bad
But I try to keep in mind the beauty that I had
Mama, I inherited this heart from you
And now that I've got it, tell me what to do
