Heart of Glass
Blondie · 1978
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
- Once I had a love and it was divine
- Soon found out I was losing my mind
- Seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Echo the hook
- Ooh, ooh, whoa, oh
- Ooh, ooh, whoa, oh
- Ooh, ooh, whoa, oh
- Ooh, ooh, whoa, oh
