I took a deep breath and I just stood there staring   It could have been stupid but I was past caring   It all seemed to depend on one little kiss   Oh but who would have thought it would turn out like this   And if I had I'd still have taken the risk   Please pick me up, cos I'm falling apart   That's why I try   Hard not to start   These affairs of the heart   These affairs of the heart      Out in the big world, it was coming on morning   The newsreader on breakfast tv was still yawning   An h-bomb in taiwan, a sex-bomb in spain   If you spill that red wine, white will get out the stain   Forget the mess, baby, when will I see you again   Please pick me up while I'm playing this part   That's why I try   Hard not to start   These affairs of the heart   These affairs of the heart      This movie is paper, it's 2-d, it's see-through   I know what happens cos I saw the preview   This mental fandango could drive me insane   Just me, these six steel strings and you off in spain   Plainly the rain mainly falls down my drain   Please pick me up and then pull me apart   That's why I try   Hard not to start   These affairs of the heart   These affairs of the heart
