Matters of The Heart lyrics
by Tracy Chapman
I lose my headFrom time to timeI make a fool of myselfIn matters of the heartWe should have been holding each otherInstead we talkedI make a fool of myselfIn matters of the heartBut I asked beforeYour reply was kind and politeOne wants moreWhen one's deniedI make a fool of myselfIn matters of the heartI won't call it loveBut it feels good to have passion in my lifeIf there's a battleI hope my head always defers to my heartIn matters of the heartI guess I'm crazy to thinkI can give you what you don't wantI make a fool of myselfIn matters of the heartI wish that I had the powerTo make these feelings stopI lose all self controlIn matters of the heartI can't believeIt's so hard to find someoneTo give affection toAnd from whom you can receiveI guess it's just the draw of the cardsIn matters of the heartYou caught me off guardSomehow you reached meWhere I thought I had nothing left insideI've learned my lesson I've been edifiedIn matters of the heartI've spent my nightsWhere the sleeping dogs lieNot by your sideIt feels so lonelyOnce again I've left to much to chanceIn matters of the heartHere I sitI'm feeling sorry for myselfIt's quite a sightBut I have you to thankFor reminding meWe're all alone in this worldAnd in matters of the heartI'm already missing youAlthough we won't say good byesUntil tomorrow afternoonMaybe when and if I see you againWe'll see eye to eyeIn matters of the heartI have no harsh words for youI have no tears to cryIf the moon were fullI'd be howling insideIt only hurtsIn matters of the heartIf today were my birthdayI'd be rebornAs bronte's bird a bird that could flyAnd all accounts would be settledIn matters of the heartMatters of the heart
