Lyrics
[ music: natalie merchant/words: natalie merchant ]
To your common sense firm arguments I won't listen to your voice of reason trying to change my mind I mind my feelings and not your words Didn't you notice I'm so headstrong even when I know I'm wrong? Take this to your heart and into your head now: Before you waste your time, call a truce and call a draw
What's the use in mapping your views out in orderly form When it does nothing but confuse and anger me more? I mind my feelings and not your words Didn't you notice I'm so headstrong You're talking to a deaf stone wall Take this to your heart and into your head now: The old wives' tale is true, I'll repeat it All is fair in love and war, that's how the famous saying goes
Open up your eyes, see me for what I am: Cast in iron, I won't break and I won't bend Take this to your heart and into your head now: The old wives' tale is true, I'll repeat it All is fair in love and war, that's how the famous saying goes
If I told you we were out to sea in a bottomless boat You'd try anything to save us, you'd try anything to keep us afloat And if we were living in a house afire I don't believe that you could rush out and escape it and not rescue me Take this to your heart and into your head now: The old wives' tale is true, I'll repeat it All is fair in love and war, that's how the famous saying goes Listen, I think they were talking to you
