THE HEART WANTS WHAT IT WANTS lyrics
by JOEL SATTLER

My heart has betrayed me
many many times
my heart has led me
into a life of crime

The heart is stronger
stronger than the mind
The heart always wins
in sunshine or in sin

I handled her like
I was wearing Velvet gloves
I thought that I knew her
I thought that this was love

but she wanted me to make her
she wanted me to take her
and maybe almost break her
my old love to forsake her

but I was so naive
I just could not believe
that women were as strong as men
and their lust was what they could not pretend

And when it finally came to an end
I had to let her go because
I did not know
that's the way it goes

And still it's just a guess
if any of that's true
but I didn't know just what to do
and I never let her know

now sometimes in the dusk
while walking down my street
I catch the scent of musk
and I'm swept right off my feet

just a scent of musk
just a hint of musk
and I might as well be dust
kicked up by the heat

the heart wants what it wants
no matter what it fears
I still think of her every single day
but then she disappears

and I wonder what she’d say
If she knew she's haunted me
for all these many years
all these many years

would she laugh or would she cry
or just shed a couple tears
But love can't last forever
if it has nowhere to go

the mountains will return to sand
Or else be covered up with snow
the winds will blow apart the world
for the love of just one girl

I loved her so badly
I should've given my old life gladly
But now she's just a dream
of what could have been

the heart wants what it wants
no matter what it fears
I still think of her every single day
but then she disappears
