Lyrics of
Heart Of Glass

Heart of Glass by Blondie originally started out as a ballad in 1974, initially titled Once I Had a Love and nicknamed The Disco Song for its experimental foray into disco. The finalized version, infused with disco vibes, was released in 1978. It marked a pivotal moment in the bands career, showcasing their ability to transcend punk and new wave genres. The song discusses the disillusionment and pain of a love that seemed real but proved to be su ... perficial, mirroring Debbie Harrys own romantic experiences. See more [+]

Once I had a love and it was a gas;
soon turned out, I had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing only to find;
much mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine;
soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind;
much mistrust, love's gone behind
In between, what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind,
if I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas;
soon turned out, I had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing only to find;
much mistrust, love's gone behind
Lost inside, adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside,
we could've made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Ooo ooo wo Ooo ooo wo Ooo ooo wo Ooo ooo wo
Once I had a love and it was a gas;
soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find;
mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Ooo ooo wo Ooo ooo wo Ooo ooo wo Ooo ooo wo
