You say one thing and there I go turning around again

Working things over better left unsaid

Spinning around in my head

Talking a moment

Too personally



I have told you just half the words

I've wanted to give you

Fear of rejection keeps my heart at bay

Feelings I'd rather not say

I'd rather have you close

Than never at all



But every now and then

When my world is closing in

I feel you breezin' through my mind

I can attempt to close my eyes

I can avoid the wrong or right

But something deep inside

Says my heart wants what it wants



Baby

Stay away

Do the right thing

I know I should run

But my heart wants what it wants

Baby

Stay away

Do the right thing

I know I should run

You know the heart wants what it wants



You do one thing and

Then I go

Always imagining

Reciprocating feelings that aren't there

Sometimes I think you're aware

Your body languge it gives you away

Maybe I should run

Turn my back

Head for the sun

Feelings left to come undone



Maybe you like what's goin' on

Deep down inside I know it's wrong

I know I should run

But the heart wants what it wants



Baby

Stay away

Do the right thing

I know I should run

But my heart wants what it wants

Baby

Stay away

Do the right thing

I know I should run

You know the heart wants what it wants



It's not even a love affair

I'm makin' plans with the ghost of what was there

I've become a desperate fool

And it's all because of you



Baby

Stay away

Do the right thing

I know I should run

But my heart wants what it wants

Baby

Stay away

Do the right thing

I know I should run

You know the heart wants what it wants



Baby

Stay away

Do the right thing

I know I should run

But my heart wants what it wants

Baby

Stay away

Do the right thing baby

Because the heart wants

What the heart needs

Can the heart get

What the heart wants
