10000 Maniacs - Headstrong Lyrics
[ music: natalie merchant/words: natalie merchant ]To your common sense firm argumentsI wont listen to your voice of reason trying to change my mind.I mind my feelings and not your words.Didnt you notice Im so headstrong even when I know Im wrong?Take this to your heart and into your head now:Before you waste your time, call a truce and call a draw.Whats the use in mapping your views out in orderly formWhen it does nothing but confuse and anger me more?I mind my feelings and not your words.Didnt you notice Im so headstrong.Youre talking to a deaf stone wall.Take this to your heart and into your head now:The old wives tale is true, Ill repeat it.All is fair in love and war, thats how the famous saying goes.Open up your eyes, see me for what I am:Cast in iron, I wont break and I wont bend.Take this to your heart and into your head now:The old wives tale is true, Ill repeat it.All is fair in love and war, thats how the famous saying goes.If I told you we were out to sea in a bottomless boat,Youd try anything to save us, youd try anything to keep us afloat.And if we were living in a house afire,I dont 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, Ill repeat it.All is fair in love and war, thats how the famous saying goes.Listen, I think they were talking to you.
