Lyrics
Affairs of the Heart
(Chorus)
Affairs of th' heart, they don't heal easy.
Every time you see him, you still feel queasy.
You were in so deep. It was true passion.
But now, you can't stand to see his... satisfaction.
I. You look away and try pretendin'.
You got your eye on your seven 'n' seven.
But, then you glance. He's smilin' at you.
And you know, you know, your heart... still needs mendin'.
(Turnaround)
II. He was th' one that you were meant for.
That was th' first time when you were dead sure.
But, then you lost th' man of your dreams.
And you know, you know, that love... can be torture.
(Chorus)
Affairs of th' heart, they don't heal easy.
Every time you see him, you still feel queasy.
You were in so deep. It was true passion.
But now, you can't stand to see his... satisfaction.
(Tag)
Affairs of th' heart, they don't heal easy. (Instrumental) Ooo... ooo, ooo.
