10,000 Maniacs — Headstrong текст песни
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.
