It's not easy on my bed sheets It's not easy on my nerves It's not easy on my conscience It's not easy on my soul This is not what you wanted What you wanted from me I know that much now My apologies You would call me a harlot You would call me a whore You see I'm man now I'm worth so much more
[Chorus] Well, I've got the heart of a hustler With a hustler's pain I've got the heart of a hustler With all the hustler's shame I've got the body of a lover With a masochist's brain I've got the heart of a hustler I'm playing a dangerous game
The mind says no sir, But the body says please The heart stays silent Such a silent tease And I don't know why I'm telling you this Maybe I've gotta get it off my unholy chest
Theres a road much travelled But one I haven't walked down yet And it calls my name It calls my name Yes it calls my name It's a darker path And it calls my name
[Chorus] x 2 I've got the heart of a hustler With a hustler's pain I've got the heart of a hustler With all the hustler's shame I've got the body of a lover With a masochist's sprain I've got the heart of a hustler I'm playing a dangerous game I'm playing a dangerous game I'm playing a dangerous game I'm playing a dangerous game.
