[Verse 1:]

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

[Chorus:]

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

[Verse 2:]

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

[Chorus]

[Outro:]

Listen, I think they were talking to you
