“Hole Hearted” was the fourth single released from Extreme’s 1990 album Pornograffiti. It became their second worldwide hit in a row.
Initially the record company resisted Bettencourt’s request to release the acoustic ballad “More Than Words” as the album’s third single, but when they finally did...
[Intro]
Oooh yeah wooh!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
[Verse 1]
Life´s ambition occupy my time
Priorities confuse the mind
Happiness one step behind
This inner peace I've yet to find
[Pre-Chorus]
Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I´m not blind why can't I see
That a circle can´t fit where a square should be?
[Chorus]
There´s a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can´t be filled with the things I do
Hole hearted

[Verse 2]
This heart of stone is where I hide
These feet of clay keep warm inside
Day by day less satisfied
Not fade away before I die
[Pre-Chorus]
Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I´m not blind why can´t I see
Ooh, that a circle can´t fit where a square should be?
[Chorus]
There´s a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can´t be filled with the things I do
[Chorus 2]
There´s a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
Should have known from the start
I´d fall short with the things I do
Hole hearted, hole hearted
Hole hearted, hole hearted
[Outro]
Hole hearted, hole hearted
Yeah
Yee haw!

Nuno Bettencourt told Songfacts:
“Hole Hearted” was one of those songs where I had my first 12-string [guitar] sent to me. I was in the studio, and the album was pretty much done. I opened the twelve-string, and the first thing I played were those opening chords. The song, once again, just happened...
