The Heart Wants It Wants
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You say one thing and there I go turning around again
Working things over better left unsaid
Spinning around in my head
Taking a moment
Too personally
I have told you just half the words
I've wanted to give to you
Fear of rejection keeps my heart at bay
Feelings I'd rather not say
I'd rather have you close
Then never at all
But every now and then
When my world is closing in
I fel you breezin' through my mind
I can attempt to close my eyes
I can avoid the wrong or right
But something deep inside
Says my heart wants what it wants
Chorus
Baby
Stay away
Do the right thing
I know I should run
But my heart wants what it wants
Baby
Stay away
Do the right thing baby
You know the heart wants what it wants
You do one thing and
Then I go
Always imagining
Reciprocating feelings that aren't there
Sometimes I think you're aware
Your body language it gives you away
Maybe I should run
Turn my back
Head for the sun
Feelings left to come undone
Maybe you like what's goin' on
I know I should run
But the heart wants what it wants
Chorus
It's not even a love affair
I'm makin' plans with the ghost of what was there
I've become a desperate fool
And it's all because of you
Chorus
Baby
Stay away
Do the riht thing
I know I should run
But my heart wants what it wants
Baby
Stay away
Do the right thing baby
Because the heart wants
What the heart needs
Can't the heart get
What the heart wants?
