Headstrong

[ music: natalie merchant/words: natalie merchant ]







To your common sense firm arguments

I won't listen to your voice of reason trying to change my mind.

I mind my feelings and not your words.

Didn't you notice i'm so headstrong even when i know i'm wrong?

Take this to your heart and into your head now:

Before you waste your time, call a truce and call a draw.



What's the use in mapping your views out in orderly form

When it does nothing but confuse and anger me more?

I mind my feelings and not your words.

Didn't you notice i'm so headstrong.

You're talking to a deaf stone wall.

Take this to your heart and into your head now:

The old wives' tale is true, i'll repeat it.

All is fair in love and war, that's how the famous saying goes.



Open up your eyes, see me for what i am:

Cast in iron, i won't break and i won't bend.

Take this to your heart and into your head now:

The old wives' tale is true, i'll repeat it.

All is fair in love and war, that's how the famous saying goes.



If i told you we were out to sea in a bottomless boat,

You'd try anything to save us, you'd try anything to keep us afloat.

And if we were living in a house afire,

I don't believe that you could rush out and escape it and not rescue me.

Take this to your heart and into your head now:

The old wives' tale is true, i'll repeat it.

All is fair in love and war, that's how the famous saying goes.

Listen, i think they were talking to you.
