Stop, slow down, take a deep breath
Stop, slow down, take a deep breath
I look at you and I know you're trouble
I should run just as fast as I can
One smile, game over, here in front of you I stand
I know you're only gonna burst my bubble
Trouble is, my heart don't care
It's ignoring all the danger signs
Stop, slow down, take a deep breath, beware
I'm not willing to be so fearless, careless, just yet
Once bitten twice shy, is what you get
My heart's got a mind of its own
Won't listen to a word I say
Doesn't it know that I get hurt too
When it acts that way
'Cause when it breaks I break
I don't know how much more of this I can take
Doesn't it know that I get hurt too
When it acts that way
Too many times I've witnessed
My heart make a fool of itself
So sure it's gonna turn out one way
Always turns out being something' else
My hearts got a real malfunction
Always flipping' into over ride
When I tell it to be sensible
It over rules my cynical mind
I'm not willing to be so open, transparent, no not yet
Once bitten twice shy, is what you get
But here in front of you, there's nothing I can do
Stop, slow down, take a deep breath
Think about what I'm doing'
Think about once bitten, twice shy
Stop, slow down, take second, before you rust right in
It's gonna be my tears you cry
(My heart's got a mind of its own...)
I look at you and I know you're trouble
I should run just as fast as I can
One smile, game over, here in front of you I stand
(My heart's got a mind of its own...)
I know you're only gonna burst my bubble
Trouble is, my heart don't care
Stop, slow down, take a deep breath, beware
(My heart's got a mind of its own...)
