Lyrics
WHEN THE HEART SAYS YES
I?ve given you
Way too many chances
You still ain?t got a clue
What a real romance is
No settlin? down
You?re like a wind that keep blowin?
When you first left town
I should?ve let you keep goin?
But time and again I?ve listened to my heart
And it?s played me for a fool
So now when it comes to lovin? you, baby
I follow one simple rule
When the heart says ?yes?
I?m gonna have to say ?no?
?Faster, faster?
Means I?ll take it real slow
Now I know just what I?ve gotta do
So when it tells me ?left?
I?m gonna swing it to the right
Put the pedal to the metal
With all of my might
It can talk and talk
?Til it turns from red to blue
But when the heart says ?yes?
I?m gonna have to say ?no? to you
Yeah, it?s over for us
And that?s a stone cold fact
I ain?t movin? one muscle, boy
To take you back
You can turn on the charm
But you?re bound to discover
I?ve got a heartbreak alarm
That sends me runnin? for cover
Well, it took a little time to learn my lesson
But I?ve earned an advanced degree
And though I never could claim to be a straight A student
I?m smart enough to set you free
CHORUS
