The Heart Never Learns

Gloria Estefan · Triple Feature [2009]

Only time can bring the peace of mind you treasure

Only love can really break your heart

But we must feel the pain before the pleasure

Only then can we tell them apart



We are never too afraid of taking chances

Searching in the dark with no concerns



But it's always the same with all romances

It's the heart that never seems to learn



Thinking that it's finally my turn

Like a fool believing every word

You tell me that it's over but that's not what I heard

'Cause my heart just never seems to learn



Many times I've wished that love had never found me

After knowing all the pain it brings

Always hoping to feel you arms around me

Without fear of losing everything



It's the heart that will awaken all the senses

And the senses light up the soul

But we hide what we feel with more pretenses

Than the pride that comes before the fall



Thinking that it's finally my turn

Like a fool believing every word

You tell me that it's over but that's not what I heard

'Cause my heart just never seems to learn



How can I ever find what I've always wanted

With a heart that never seems to learn

Never seems to learn
