There Goes My Heart
Mariah Carey · Charmbracelet Special Edition [2003]
How could anyone else compete with that
So I just can't help feeling sentimental
About things in the past
We promised to keep it casual
But at times that can be so difficult
This relationship's so untypical
And I can't understand
Tell me why
Tell me why
First you love me
And then you leave me
And then I'm falling back in your arms
There's no conclusion
You're so deceiving
Cuz I get taken in by your charms
Even though I try not to bend
There goes my heart again
Baby why can't we be just friends
It's a mess but we still pretend
Any fool could foresee the end
But there goes my heart again
When I feel your stare
Catching me off-guard
It's just not fair
Cuz you know for sure
How to lure me in
With that magnetic smile
First you love me
And then you leave me
And then I'm falling back in your arms
There's no conclusion
You're so deceiving
Cuz I get taken in by your charms
Even though I try not to bend
There goes my heart again
Baby why can't we be just friends
It's a mess but we still pretend
Any fool could foresee the end
But there goes my heart again
Tell me why
Tell me why
First you love me
And then you leave me
And then I'm falling back in your arms
There's no conclusion
You're so deceiving
Cuz I get taken in by your charms
Even though I try so very hard not to bend
There goes my heart again
There goes, there goes
There goes my heart again
There goes my heart again
Baby, baby, baby, baby
There goes my heart again
Cuz you love me
Then you leave me baby
I try to keep it casual
There goes my heart again
There goes my heart again
One, two, three, four, five, six, seventh heaven
