I’ve heard the saying many times,
You can’t help who you love.
It’s some higher power
That sends love from above.
I’ve also heard people say,
Everything happens for a reason.
I believe that, but I don’t understand
How my heart can commit treason.

Chorus:
The heart wants what the heart wants.
This statement is true.
And what my heart wants
Is you.
My heart wants what my heart wants,
There’s nothing I can do.
I hope your heart
Wants me too.

I know I shouldn’t like you.
It just isn’t right.
It’s a danger to my morals,
But the feelings, I can’t fight.
You’re a bad influence,
But I can’t stay away.
My heart is telling me,
This is okay.

Chorus:
The heart wants what the heart wants.
This statement is true.
And what my heart wants
Is you.
My heart wants what my heart wants,
There’s nothing I can do.
I hope your heart
Wants me too.

I feel like such a hypocrite
With the thoughts that are in my head.
I should be good and conservative,
But I feel typical adult urges instead.
I shouldn’t fall in love with you,
I keep telling myself not to.
With your charm and charisma,
I don’t know how good that will do.

Chorus:
The heart wants what the heart wants.
This statement is true.
And what my heart wants
Is you.
My heart wants what my heart wants,
There’s nothing I can do.
I hope your heart
Wants me too.   ©
