A Mind of Its Own

Stop, slow down, take a deep breath

Oh, yeah

Stop, slow down, take a deep breath

Na na na na na, na na na na na

Oh, oh

I look at you and I know you're trouble

I should run just as fast as I can

One smile, game over

Here in front of you I stand

I know you're only gonna burst my bubble

Trouble is my heart don't care

It's ignoring all the danger signs

Stop, slow down, take a deep breath, beware

I'm not willing to be so fearless, careless just yet

Once bitten, twice shy is what you get

My heart's got a mind of its own

Won't listen to a word I say

Doesn't it know that I get hurt too

When it acts that way?

'Cause when it breaks, I break

I don't know how much more of this I can take

Doesn't it know that I get hurt too

When it acts that way?

Too many times I've witnessed

My heart make a fool of itself

So sure it's gonna turn out one way

Always turns out being something else

My heart's got a real malfunction

Always flippin' into override

When I tell it to be sensible

It overrules my cynical mind

I'm not willing to be so open, transparent, no, not yet

Once bitten, twice shy is what you get

Be here in front of you there's nothin' that I can do

My heart's got a mind of its own

Don't listen to a word I say

Doesn't it know that I get hurt too

When it acts that way?

'Cause when it breaks, I break

I don't know how much more of this I can take

Doesn't it know that I get hurt too

When it acts that way?

My heart's got a mind of its own

Don't listen to a word I say

Doesn't it know that I get hurt too

When it acts that way?

'Cause when it breaks, I break

I don't know how much more of this I can take

Doesn't it know that I get hurt too

When it acts that way?

Stop, slow down, take a deep breath

Think about what I'm doin'

Think about once bitten, twice shy

Stop, slow down, take a second

Before you rush right in (Rush right in)

It's gonna be my tears you cry

My heart's got a mind of its own

(Its own)

Don't listen to a word I say

Doesn't it know that I get hurt too

When it acts that way?

'Cause when it breaks, I break

I don't know how much more of this I can take

Doesn't it know that I get hurt too

When it acts that way?

My heart's got a mind of its own

Don't listen to a word I say

Doesn't it know that I get hurt too

When it acts that way?

'Cause when it breaks, I break

I don't know how much more of this I can take

Doesn't it know that I get hurt too

When it acts that way?

My heart's got a mind of its own

I look at you and I know you're trouble

I should run just as fast as I can

One smile, game over

Here in front of you I stand

My heart's got a mind of its own

I know you're only gonna burst my bubble

Trouble is my heart don't care

But here in front of you there's nothing that I can do

Stop, slow down, take a deep breath, beware

My heart's got a mind of its own

When it acts that way
