Lyrics
I told this heart of mine
Our love would never be
But then I hear your voice
And something stirs inside of me
Somehow I can’t dismiss
The memory of your kiss
Guess my heart has a mind of its own
No matter what I do
No matter what I say
No matter how I try
I just can’t turn the other way
When I’m with someone new
I always think of you
Guess my heart has a mind of its own
You’re not in love with me
So why can’t I forget?
I’m just your used-to-be
It’s wrong, and yet
I know forgetting you
Would be a hopeless thing
For I’m a puppet and
I just can’t seem to break the string
I say I’ll let you go
But then, my heart says, “No”
Guess my heart has a mind of its own
