Headstrong Lyrics

[ music: natalie merchant/words: natalie merchant ] 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.
