I lose my head  From time to time  I make a fool of myself  In matters of the heart  We should have been holding each other  Instead we talked  I make a fool of myself  In matters of the heart  But I asked before  Your reply was kind and polite  One wants more  When one's denied  I make a fool of myself  In matters of the heart  I won't call it love  But it feels good to have passion in my life  If there's a battle  I hope my head always defers to my heart  In matters of the heart  I guess I'm crazy to think  I can give you what you don't want  I make a fool of myself  In matters of the heart  I've made myself sick  I can't think of anything else  I can't sleep at night  I make a fool of myself  In matters of the heart  I wish that I had the power  To make these feelings stop  I lose all self control  In matters of the heart  I can't believe  It's so hard to find someone  To give affection to  And from whom you can receive  I guess it's just the draw of the cards  In matters of the heart  You caught me off guard  Somehow you reached me  Where I thought I had nothing left inside  I've learned a lesson I've been edified  In matters of the heart  I've spent my nights  Where the sleeping dogs lie  Not by your side  It feels so lonely  Once again I've left too much to chance  In matters of the heart  Here I sit  I'm feeling sorry for myself  It's quite a sight  But I have you to thank  For reminding me  We're all alone in this world  And in matters of the heart  I'm already missing you  Although we won't say good-byes  Until tomorrow afternoon  Maybe when and if I see you again  We'll see eye to eye  In matters of the heart  I have no harsh words for you  I have no tears to cry  If the moon were full  I'd be howling inside  It only hurts  In matters of the heart  If today were my birthday  I'd be reborn  As Bronte's bird a bird that could fly  And all accounts would be settled  In matters of the heart  Matters of the heart
