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.

liked the piano and other instrumentation. nice overall "sections" that lent allot of interest. the vocal is honest!

I like how this simple instrumental with a catchy tune and lovely chords can evoke a feeling of peace, calm and melancholy.

The melody of this song is lovely and the piano really brings the song to life, very beautifully played.

Great little song. Love the instrumentation. Has a great Leonard Cohen kind of sound for me. The performance, especially on the instrumentals is fantastic. Smooth, romantic, melancholy, all the emotions that this track needs, you have them in spades.
