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
wvies'
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.
Over your shoulder, please don't mind me if my eyes have
fallen onto your magazine for I've been watching and wondering why
your face is changing with every line you read. All those lines
and circles, to me, a mystery. Eve pull down the apple and give
taste to me. If she would be wonderful, but my pride is in the
way. I cannot read to save my life, I'm so ashamed to say.
I live in silence, afraid to speak of my life of
darkness because I cannot read. For all those lines and circles,
to me, a mystery. Eve pull down the apple and give taste to me.
If she could it would be wonderful. Then I wouldn't need someone
else's eyes to see what's in front of me. No one guiding me.
It makes me humble to be so green at what every kid can
do when he learns A to Z, but all those lines and circles just
frighten me and I fear that I'll be trampled if you don't reach
for me. Before I run I'll have to take a fall. And then pick
myself up, so slowly I'll devour every one of those books in the
Tower of Knowledge.
