Gift wrapping, all those trappings

They don't mean a thing

What matters is the song,

The song and how you sing

Straight from the heart,

It's gotta come,

Straight from the heart!

Simple and true

It's gotta come directly from you

It's gotta come, straight from the, straight from the heart

Don't rely on mere attraction

Wait 'till they go into action

Those with those arrogant airs

Are ones it's best to beware

Straight from the heart,

It's gotta come,

Straight from the heart!

Simple and true

It's gotta come directly from you

It's gotta come, straight from the, straight from the heart
