Can't Lie To My Heart Lyrics


I whispered you words I thought I'd never say
We played the game but then we tossed the rules away
Could deny it, justify it, but we both know that we went too far
Oh, I can feel you and I need you, no matter wherever you are
I don't want to watch my love come crashing down
I can't lie to my heart
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round
Baby, I just can't lie to my heart
I have loved you longer than you've even known
When you hurt, I hurt, I'm your flesh and you're my bone
If I could only be two people, darlin' I swear, we'd both be with you
Oh, I know I'm selfish, but I'm helpless, I want you and nothing else will do
I don't want to watch my love come crashing down
I can't lie to my heart
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round
Rippin' me right apart
I won't pretend anymore
Been hiding too long

I won't go on like before
I'm not that strong
Oh, I can feel it when I'm near you
It's not healthy to need you this way
I try to fight it, get inside it
This pain is stronger than me and it won't go away
I don't want to watch my love come crashing down
I can't lie to my heart
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round
Rippin' me right apart
I don't want to watch my love come crashing down
I can't lie to my heart
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round
Not anymore, I can't lie anymore, baby, I can't, baby, I can't
No, baby, I just can't lie to my heart

Richard Noel Marx (born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is an adult contemporary singer and songwriter. He had a string of successful hit singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "Right Here Waiting," "Hazard," and "Hold On To The Nights." Although most of his successful songs were slow ballads like these, many of his songs had an upbeat, classic rock style, such as "Don't Mean Nothing," "Should've Known Better," "Satisfied," and "Wait For The Sunrise." Marx placed himself in the record books by being the first solo artist to have his first seven singles hit the top 5 on the US charts.

Marx was born to Dick and Ruth Marx. Marx grew up in a mixed faith household where father was Jewish and his mother was a Christian. His father was a jingle writer for commercials, which is where Marx got his start writing at the tender age of five. His father also was talented jazz musician, well-known in the Chicago area.

At the age of 17 Marx created a demo to showcase his talents, which landed in the hands of Lionel Richie. Richie invited Marx to Hollywood saying, "I can't promise you anything, but you should come to L.A." Marx would eventually appear as a background singer in Richie's songs "You Are," "Running With the Night," and on his follow-up album including the smash hit "All Night Long".

Marx's first self titled album went multi-platinum, selling nearly 4 million copies. He earned his first #1 single, "Hold On To The Nights", which he told Songfacts.com was inspired by a friend who had the dilemma of having met the love of his life, at a time when both he and the girl in question were already in relationships. He also had several other top five hits including "Don’t Mean Nothing" (#3), "Should've Known Better" (#3) and "Endless Summer Nights" (#2).
He revealed in an interview on VH-1 Classic that his favorite song that he performed from his first, self-titled album was "Have Mercy."

*Repeat Offender*
Repeat Offender eventually moved into the #1 spot and gave Marx two more #1 hit singles.

*Rush Street*
Rush Street's "Hazard" (#1), which depicted a man's rejection in a fictional version of Hazard, Nebraska. He released Paid Vacation in 1994, Flesh & Bone in 1997, Days In Avalon in 2000 and My Own Best Enemy in 2004.

Richard Marx also sang with Donna Lewis, best known for her hit "I Love You Always Forever", on the track "At the Beginning" of the Anastasia soundtrack. He has sung background vocals for Madonna in her True Blue album.

Marx has been married to Cynthia Rhodes, who starred in the 1987 blockbuster Dirty Dancing and is a former lead singer for 80s pop band Animotion, since 1989. The couple has three sons: Brandon, Lucas, and Jesse. Brandon is the eldest followed by Lucas then Jesse.
