Richard Melvin Brown - The Owner of a Lonely Heart Lyrics

If there was a way his heart could display
The lonesome feeling it's feeling
It would have to learn to openly turn
It's feelings into I Love You
And it would have to learn how to tell
How she felt if she only knew
The owner of the heart was so in Love with Her

But why is it so hard for the owner of the heart
To simply say I love you
I guess that he's afraid his I love you
Could evoke an indifferent reaction
You know he sees her as a work of art
But he just sees himself safe in his solitary shell
As a single owner of a lonely heart

If only there'd be some magical key
That opens the entrance to fantasy
She'd be waiting there with arms open wide
And she'd be saying I love You
And he would have to learn how to trust
That she must be in love with him too
The owner of the heart that's so in love with her

But why is it so hard for the owner of the heart
To simply say I love you
I guess that he's afraid his I love you
Could evoke an unfriendly reaction
You know he sees her as a work of art
But he just sees himself safe in his solitary shell
As a single owner of a lonely heart

So why is it so hard for the owner of the heart
To simply say I love you
I guess that he's afraid his I love you
Could evoke an indifferent reaction
You know he sees her as a work of art
But he just sees himself safe in his solitary shell
As a single owner of a lonely heart

Yeah he just sees himself safe in his solitary shell
As a single owner of a lonely heart
