Guess what I thought about a beautiful day
It simply caught me out in my own time
thinking about it I was under the weather
And over the moon at the same time
I really see you baby every time I guess
In my dreams I love you the best
By going straight to the Heart of Things
Straight to the Heart of the Matter
Straight to the Heart
To the Heart of Things
Oh Yeh
You did me so much good by calling me up
I really understood your loving at that moment in time
Who could believe me when I really wanted just to
Be with the sun and the sunshine
Really tried so hard to be good to please
You know you got me feeling weak in the knees
I'm going straight to the Heart of Things
Straight to the Heart of the Matter
Straight try to turn around
Look around
Oh yeh
Think about it baby now I really don't want
To try to get it out, to write it out or spell it out far
Submit me baby you can do what you want to me
As long as we can get inside the back of your car
Every time I guess, I want you close to me
Every time I guess something happens to me
Every time I guess don't have to try so hard
I wanna tell you babe
Don't want to let you down
Straight to the heart of things
Straight to the heart of things
Straight to the heart of things
Straight to the heart of things
Straight to the heart of things
Straight to the heart of the matter
