The Heart Wants What It Wants

 
 
The heart wants what it wants & does the time,  
You think that it’s the brain, a clever fix.  
That’s not the part that’s keeping you alive,  
It paces you and me, the head just ticks.  
 
Whatever else it is it ain’t a brick,  
The heart wants what it wants & does the time.  
Your mind will jump thru’ hoops for any trick,  
A Shih Tzu in a flaming pool of lime.  
 
The brain’s just full o’ words, ain’t it a crime,  
And pulls the switches, miming every beat.  
The heart wants what it wants & does the time,  
A head must keep its cool or overheat.  
 
We think we know the score no matter what,  
The same day after day ain’t worth a dime.  
It’s true what’s said of work, you’re in a rut,  
The heart wants what it wants & does the time.
