What The Heart 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.
She met him down at the laundromat;
three a.m. on a washing machine.
They sat and talked 'til dawn.
He bought her breakfast at a small cafe,
mornin' turned into the rest of the day,
then the day was gone.
He thought that she'd surely run away,
no fairy tale ever started this way, but
it ain't the mind that calls the shots 'round here.
Stronger powers pull two bodies near.
Nothing on earth can interfere when love is
what the heart wants.
He held her hand, she held her breath.
Two lonely hearts beating, scared to death
of the chance to fly.
Givin' in to the arms of fate,
this isn't quite like the plans that they made, but
it ain't the mind that calls the shots 'round here.
Stronger powers pull two bodies near.
Nothing on earth can interfere when love is
what the heart wants.
It ain't the mind that calls the shots 'round here.
Stronger powers pull two bodies near.
Nothing on earth can interfere when love is
what the heart wants.
Nothing on earth can interfere when love is...
