Ruler of My Heart
(Pain in My Heart)
Sung by Irma Thomas
Written by Naomi Neville (Allen Toussaint)
Minit May 1963 single
Ruler of my heart
Driver of my soul
Where can you be
I wait patiently
My heart cries out
Pain inside
Where can you be
I wait patiently
When you're alone
The going gets rough
Come back, come back, come back
I've had enough
Make me a queen
Happy again
Hear my plea
I wait patiently
Ruler of my heart
Driver of my soul
When you're alone
The going gets rough
Come back, come back, come back
I've had enough
Make me a queen
Happy again
Hear my plea
I wait patiently
Ooh ooh ummh
Ruler of my heart
Driver of my soul
Ooh ooh ooh
Ruler of my heart
