My Heart Won't Listen To Me
Nana Mouskouri · Other Songs - Nana Mouskouri
Not to rush in your arms recklessly
I tell my heart to be careful
But my heart won't listen to me
I know it's too soon to be certain
So I say to my heart wait and see
I don't want to end up hurtin'
But my heart won't listen to me
You've got me all aglow
Yet I know I only met you tonight
And what I feel for you,it's so new how
Can I be sure it's right
I say to my heart as I kiss you
Fools fall in love carelessly
But how can I try to resist you
When my heart won't listen to me
Oh! I don't want to end up hurtin'
But my heart won't listen to me
You've got me all aglow
Yet I know I only met you tonight
And what I feel for you it's so new how
Can I be sure it's right
Oh! I say to my heart as I kiss you
Fools fall in love carelessly
Oh but how can I try to resist you
When my heart won't listen to me
When my heart won't listen to me
My Heart Won't Listen To Me
