Says My Heart

"Fall in love, fall in love", says my heart
"It's romance, take a chance", says my heart
But each time that I'm almost in your arms
This old school teacher brain of mine
Keeps ringing in false alarms.

Then my head rules instead and I'm wise
To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes
So I kiss and run but the moment we're apart
"Oh, you fool, that was love", says my heart.

Says my heart, it says for me to fall in love, my heart
It also says for me to take a chance, take a chance
Oh my heart, it speaks to the rhythm of the beat
"Don't be a fool", it says to me.

Each time I'm in your arms
This heart of mine rings false alarms.

"Fall in love, fall in love", says my heart
"Honey, it's romance, take a chance", says my heart
But each time that I'm almost in your arms
This old school teacher brain of mine
Keeps ringing in false alarms.

Then my head rules me instead
So I kiss and then I run away
I'll come back some other day
"Oh, you fool, that was love", says my heart.

Now that I am in love, I know you love me
That I should have my heart to answer for me
And it will say to me to fall, to fall in love with you
"Don't be a fool", says my heart.
