10,000 Maniacs

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.
